First of all each component is free to choose its own build system.

Second it's not easy possible to create a build system for all
components since if one doesn't build it may stop the others from
building. Of course you are free to create as system which can handle a
changing set of components. Anyway it doesn't make much sense to create
a build system for wxCode as long as it isn't supported by wxWidgets.

Third I don't think Bakefile is needed for anything else except the
_main_ wxWidgets libraries. The _only_ solution is to use wx-config all
the time since wx-config contains _every_ build information on any
system. BTW IMO even the main libraries could be built with wx-config
without Bakefile not to speak of all the contribs, demos, samples,
utilities, etc.

Bakefile has its use for creating base make/project files for all the
different platform but it shouldn't be used for more. Just look at the
Makefile of treelisttest and compare it with the Makefile of wyoEditor.
You can easily copy this Makefile and just exchange the source files and
maybe the libraries. With the use of wx-config nothing else is needed
while it works everywhere.
