there is only support for python and c++ in wxwindows

If we use gtk, perhaps we still can provide static binaries for windows. 
Does someone know if we can do that ? Anyway we can use the same method 
as in the windows port of gimp so in theory we could provide an easy to 
install (but perhaps big) windows version.
