We are in the middle of dealing with this issue ourselves, but for now we
want just the generic (no build configuration at all) result that is
normally supplied by every other FindXXX.cmake module. We haven't tried it
yet, but it appears to me from a quick read of FindwxWidgets.cmake that I
can get that generic result by setting WX_USE_REL_AND_DBG to OFF before
find_package(wxWidgets).  But if anybody here knows a cleaner way to get the
generic build configuration result from the FindwxWidgets.cmake module
please let me know.
