There is some tool like that you have in mind already

http://wxconfig.googlepages.com/

it will not have cmake compatible output maybe, but maybe you could
start from there?

I also think that the cmake module works quite fine, altough have have
to set many options/definitions at the cmake configuration stage if you
don't have standard build of wxwidgets - which is quite logically, since
how should it find out automatically how I set up wxWidgets.

Werner
