IIRC there are some issue with boost so they need to be tweaked for
different parts of the build. It this where automake there would be no
problem, but maybe cmake has its own reasons...

I don't really like cmake but unless it stops working that's fine for
me:P automake/autoconf has other dark areas anyway so I think is only
a question of choosing and suffering:P

Talking about playing with options: I tried an lto build and now (after
the new boost patches/options/whatever) link fails with some mismatch
between TLS and non-TLS in (guess what) wxString...  that class has to
die. I think wxString alone would be a good reason enough to *not* use
wxWidgets:D yes, glib string handling still is less painful
