So, some history here might help...

I actively tried to get wxWidgets to switch to CMake several years ago. 
The big problem was that they felt it was unacceptable for users to have 
to install CMake to build wxWidgets.  So, the result was some wxWidgets 
folks created the Bakefile system.  I am thinking they will not change. 
  However, if we helped them to create a wxWidgets.cmake that was 
created from the Bakefile system, I don't see why they would not accept it.
