Summary0008373: Docs need updating for the findwxwidgets module
DescriptionDocs should be updated so that wxWidget users use the "mono" component keyword when linking against a Monolithic compile (ie: wxPack).

For example, the find package line should be:
FIND_PACKAGE(wxWidgets COMPONENTS mono [REQUIRED])

This was not evident or highlighted well enough. I have spent "a while" faced with a monolithic linking problem.

The problem here is that, IIRC MONOLITHIC builds have been deprecated by wxWidgets and are not recommended. Also, right now I don't have a way to work in windows and linux both with the same behaviour. Last but not least, there should be a check for conflicting libs (mono vs multilib), so that people don't link to both.

So this mono thing is there for backward compatibility of some sort, but is not well supported. I guess we could document this, but then I really haven't decided not to support monolithic libs, rather I haven't had the time nor been given the patch to implement consistent support for it.

Ideas are welcome.
