Add me to the list of folks using static wxWidgets :) I have several 
other apps that use the library and I need to stick with a stable 
version installed that works with wxPython so I can still have wxGlade.

The application built fine after editing the Makefile, and I have it 
running.

I'm not great at autoconf/make stuff but I'll see if I can figure 
anything out. In the meantime I'll make a debug version and see if I can 
get XaraLX to segfault a little for me so I can learn the source and 
make with the patching :)
