Not any more than the fact that the desired output system for that 
driver being C++ already limited it.  I.e. if wxWidgets runtime and 
development support exists on the box, there's nothing to stop a gnuplot 
build from using them.

If there's an actual problem to be caused by this, it'll be that the 
link of the entire gnuplot will now have to be done with the C++ 
compiler's linker presets.  I.e. we'll pull in the C++ startup code.  On 
  less sane platforms, that could indeed cause trouble.
