but perhaps we should provide additional install methods that also come
pro-bundled with wxWidgets, this way we can control the version that we ship
with - again the issue comes with how to install them on different platforms
and in a controlled manner.

The first problem is that wxdirect installs both executables and a library -
why is that necessary, and is there another way to do it?
