USE_WX_OVERLAY=ON is mandatory for OSX, there is currently no way around 
it to have default canvases in pcbnew and eeschema. It is needed as a workaround
for not having a XOR draw mode, I don’t know if this is also the case on other 
platforms.

USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=ON is optional on OSX, but some of the 
drawing optimisations in default canvases I did need it. I wouldn’t recommend to 
build with USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF on OSX. Don’t know if this one 
is used on other platforms (the optimisations that need this could be also beneficial
on other platforms, not only on OSX).
