I was using MinGW32. I finally got the wxWindows libraries to compile
and install using the MinGW tools. I don't know if it was something else
I had set on my system or the version of MinGW, but it's done.
What I ended up doing was dl and run the previous install of
MinGW(3.0.0-1) and MSYS(1.0.8). I installed MinGW first into d:/mingw
then ran the MSYS(installed into d:/msys/1.0) setup and pointed it to
the MinGW install when it asked if I had it. I tried other
configurations and they didn't seem to work.

I still have to point to the right include dir when compiling but it all
seems to work. I even have some compiled binaries....

Someday, I may experiment to see if there was something else that I
missed but for now I do have it running.
