Robin Dunn builds those himself.

They are really intended to be used specifically by wxPython. Often they
are slightly different versions. I now when I've used wx for C++, I've
used different libs.

I think so. But there is a problem there, too. As I mentioned, you can
have different versions of wxPython installed at once, so which one
would put it's wx-config there?
Also, /Library/Frameworks/Python.../bin is the default locations for
binaries on OS-X, set by dist-utils. On other systems, it's set to
/usr/local, or who knows? In that case, putting wx-config there could
clash with both C++ wx installations, and wxPythons used for different
versions of python -- there's just no easy way. At least this way, when
you pick that wx-config, you KNOW you've got the one you want.
As far as MPL is concerned, we could write a little code that would
search for the default wxPython, and find wx-config there.
However, the better solution is really to get rid of the compile-time
dependence on wx -- that's a problem anyway. For instance, I'm not sure
we should make the pythonmac binary depend on wxPython 2.7 -- that is a
development version -- 2.6.3 may be a better choice.
If only we all didn't have other things to do...
