look at the several guile packages for ideas

$ cygcheck -cd | grep "^guile"
...
guile1.8                                1.8.8-3
guile2.0                                2.0.14-3
guile2.2                                2.2.7-1
guile3.0                                3.0.5-1


check how to guarantee that the names are different and they
do not collide as content

Does any package depends on python3X-wx ?
I do not see a demanding problem:

$ cygcheck-dep -S -q -n python36-wx
  python36-wx: is needed for ( )
