it's not a preference - just a "bug". Definitively the <wxlike-lib> tag 
should take in account a prefix as other wxlike-* tags do.

I've updated the wxpresets patch which I've submitted to wxWidgets with 
a wxlike-lib tag which supports the prefix so that hopefully it won't be 
a problem anymore soon.

I agree

there's a logic, really ;)

because some of wx libraries are not port-dependent. E.g. the wxBase 
library does not uses different sources when compiled as wxMSW and 
others when compiled as wxGTK.

hmmm, I don't see any great advantage over current naming, except that 
this is backward-incompatible for all ours wxLua users which should 
probably need to update their makefiles/project files without any real 
need (wxlike-lib tag must be fixed, not our naming rules).
