Hi Marco,

Yes, it does seem that the unit tests do not work correctly right now. I
thought I had put a note about that in the emails and/or cygport file -
my bad.

The tests compile if you remove all references to the fswatcher
component, but the results even when doing this are:

- Cmdline tests segfault after a while.

- GUI tests work, but only after installing wxWidgets tin the Cygwin
installation. Many GTK3 tests fail, but I tested equivalent
functionality manually and it seemed okay.

So instead of using the automated tests, I built the samples under
gtk2/samples and gtk3/samples and tested them manually. I've also built
a test version of wxPython against this new build of wxWidgets and used
the wxPython demo for even more manual testing. All seemed okay.

I plan to build wxWidgets 3.1.x soon, which is still being updated, so I
figure time is better spent trying to fix the unit tests for that
release, and manual tested is hopefully good enough for the moment?
