I didn't touch wx' build system. Copied related files and modified them.

I put a file at http://www.dynaset.org/dogusanh/download/wxdrawing.zip 
(1110Kb)

It includes a drawing.exe (Mingw, upx'ed), Code::Blocks project, 
libcairo.a, some Cairo header files, and related files from wx. I only 
changed graphicc.cpp file (from src/generic, my changes are marked with 
"//hd...").

Please don't use "Lines screen" menu with "Use GraphicContext"; it hangs.

Note: Code::Blocks project file format is XML; you may see my 
compilation flags.
