Thanks for the tip but I still don't understand why the library is not
being found by cmake.  I've pinged the msys2 devs more than once about
the wxPython ABI issue but they don't seem terribly interested in
keeping them synced up.  It's easy enough to rebuild wxPython with the
latest version of gcc although it takes a long time.
