[Blair Bonnett <blair.bonnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

The recent addition of CMakeModules/download_wxpython.cmake has resulted in
build failures. The main cause is the fact the --prefix option passed to
the configure script of wxPython is hardcoded to /Users/marco/
Development/product/libwxpython_root. The attached patch replaces that with
the appropriate CMake variable, ${LIBWXPYTHON_ROOT}. This fixes the build
for me.

The additional system dependencies for this also need to be documented. On
Ubuntu 13.04, I needed to install the libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
package to get a pkg-config file so the wxPython build could find the
system install of gstreamer; this is a required dependency for the build to
succeed.

To the limited extent of my testing, KiCad had been compiling fine with the
system copies of wxPython and swig. Is there now a need for this to be
built locally in all cases, or can it be dependent on the OS or some other
set of conditions?

Regards,
Blair
