[Cmake] wxWindows module questions

[Jan Woetzel]

Hi Eric,
I (re-)wrote the files for Windows and Linux last year.

On Linux/Unix debug and release library are the same name and thus must 
reside in different directories.
You can select a specific build with the WXWIN environment variable.

On MS Windows debug and release libraries have different names. Debug 
has a 'd' suffix, e.g. library wx -> wxd.
So FindwxWindows tries to find all available version and you have to 
decide for one of them during cmake/configure to set the correct library 
name.

- I thought the others weren't neccessary and would confuse the 'user'.

FYI: I never tested with MAC/OSX you may need add OSX/MAC specific stuff 
to FindwxWindows.cmake.

Best regards,
Jan.
