Good point, which is why modifying wx-config is done.
 MSYS/configure ... will build wx as if it knows nothing about
windows' paths and the wx-config output works as it should,
it is an MSYS weakness that fails in one aspect downstream
(I forget exactly what), the workaround is to make the paths
come out of wx-config in DOS format. Since this workaround
 wasn't implemented until the more recent msys2 package builds
(which are compiled with a different compiler - worse possible headaches),
Simon worked a cmake fix.  For my usage I've been editing wx-config.
