I think we could make it a lot easier by creating our own binary
package of wxWindows.  This would include ONLY release builds of
the wxWindows libraries, plus the header files.  The users would
be instructed to place this directory next to the audacity
directory, and then we could make the audacity project find wxWindows
simply using relative paths.

That way Audacity really could compile "out of the box".
