Hi again, Arjen:

Although it would be good to quickly check the above possibility that
CMake might incorrectly find a private header rather than the desired
public header, I now think the probability of that happening is low.
The reason is the official version of the find module is heavily
maintained (and therefore likely to get the -I options right).
Furthermore, I have also checked all our changes to
cmake/modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake relative to the official version,
and they are completely straightforward and have nothing to do with -I
options.

Anyhow, I now think you have had all the input you need from Phil and
me to fix or work around this wxwidgets linking issue you have
discovered, and I look forward to hearing from you what the solution
turns out to be.

Alan
