Marco,

Not a problem.  Please keep in mind that downloading and building
dependencies like wxPython or swig from source should be the last option
even on OSX.  Always use find_package() first to see if it is already
installed on the system and only if it can not be found should you build
a dependency from source.  This saves a huge amount of time when the
dependency is already installed on the system.  There is no
FindwxPython.cmake that I'm aware of but someone should write one.
