Subject: Default to built wxwidgets if its not installed
Do you want to build wxWidgets? [no] The first time installing this module I just took the default which turned out to be the wrong thing to do. If I don't have wxWidgets installed, shouldn't this default to "yes"? After all, making wxWidgets available for dependencies (ie. installing Wx.pm) is the point of this module.

I agree. Now if WXWIN/WXDIR environment variables are not set (Win32) or wx-config is not in PATH (Linux/OS X) the default is set to yes. Regards Mattia
