Hi Phil:

That sounds like an excellent plan with regard to FindwxWidgets.cmake.

Something to keep in mind for say a year or so from now is that once
you get completely on top of the CMake language and that find module
so you know exactly what is going on both for Windows and Unix, then
you might want to consider becoming the official CMake maintainer for
that module so that all CMake users benefit from your knowledge.

Kitware has a procedure where someone external to their company like
you can become the official maintainer of a find module. Since there
are so many such volunteers now who are obviously valued and supported
by Kitware, I am virtually positive that if you volunteer to maintain
FindwxWidgets.cmake, Kitware would welcome you with open arms, and the
concern expressed before to you about the future of
FindwxWidgets.cmake was because they currently had no such volunteer.
Anyhow, don't be concerned about this possibility now, but it is
something to keep in the back of your mind as a future possibility.
