Oh dear. Trendy interfaces can be very annoying, but the odd
wizard in the right place may be appropriate. Wizards
can really be overdone though, especially if you're a
relatively advanced user.

Good point. Maximum choice would be required, since you may wish to
compile the same package with several versions of wxWidgets. One scenario
may be to have one or more independent directories that can be
used with one ore more versions of wxWidgets. So you could replace
your wxWidgets distribution without having to reinstall all your
packages.
