It appears that way, I checked CMake cvs too and it doesn't yet seem to be fixed there either, although I didn't test it.

[CMake install dir]\share\CMake\Modules\FindwxWidgets.cmake
is the file which attempts to find wxWidgets, it may be easy to fix it there or you could change CMakeLists.txt to manually set the correct options instead of the FIND_PACKAGE(wxWidgets REQUIRED) call.

If you enable debug output in FindwxWidgets.cmake (line 103) you may have a better chance to find out what goes wrong. You probably want to run CMake from the command line when you do this though, as the GUI only displays the last status message.

I don't have any time to look further into this now, sorry.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next CMake release.

No, 2.6.3 worked for me so I didn't even look for updates, or were aware of any.
