 I agree. And I could even agree that "wx" should be "wx-library", although
I still have a slight preference for mapping it to "wxgui". But at least
with the diagram above calling the common base "wx" would be logical so I
definitely can live with it. The current situation is not logical however.

 If the only difference is that "wxgui" adds core library (I imagine
wxconsole would include the base one automatically) and <app-type>gui</>
then this is quite logical as well.

 I think both of your proposals are much better than the current situation.
