This would require modification of the symlink to switch
between release
and debug versions of wxWindows which should certainly
have the same
headers. I agree having multiple versions of WX is bad
in general (and
if you're clever enough to do it, you should be able to
fix the
resulting mess), but debug & release versions should be
permitted imho.

Okay, I will add the --with-wx-config=FILE option so that a
wx-config file can be specified explicitly. This should allow
side-by-side linking against debug and release. Without that option
specified, release will be the default, and debug will be linked against
in --enable-debug is passed. One question, what if the symlink
wx-config points to a debug version of wxWindows, but they don't specify
--enable-debug or --with-wx-config. We would then link against a debug
version of the wx library, but release versions of stc and xrc. Do we
care?

No. I would say just use wx-config as we do now in all cases, unless
overridden by the user.
