Well, I'm packager ;) I have Qt and wx activated in my builds. Could  
easily split the wxmodule in an own sub package.

maybe not trying to autodetectd the headers and really really only  
building it if --enable-wxwidgets is defined could be an option?

If I'd know more about coding (I'm trying to learn.. slowly but  
steady) I would help out with it... in fact on wx I already did a  
bit... is pretty sad to see my patches vanish in /dev/null now :(
