wxPython is (was?) the problem child.  When the python scripting was
originally written, wxPython wasn't always provided in a usable form on
all platforms (think Windows with native python) so we had to be able to
provide a python pcbnew library without wxPython support.  Since the
advent of the msys2 project, this is much less of an issue.  I'm not
sure merging these all into a single build option is completely risk free.
