It is enabled with phoenix and gtk3 as default for Archlinux AUR

@Steven
You may find inspiration here:

Make sure to use the correct wxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE, I don't remember
what they are called on fedora, but I think there are two wx-config
binaries on fedora if you have wxgtk with both gtk2 and gtk3.
