I'm not very much on bakefile or cmake. I fairly competent in gnu make. I
know, I'm an old fart. But I've been trying for the last 2 weeks (side bar
project) to get wxArt2D to compile with no luck what so every. Klaas have been
very helpful, but it still doesn't work.
Now wxWidgets with the configure script compiled straight out of the box with
no problems what so ever.

I know this is going to piss off proponents of cmake and I'm not trying to
start a flame war, just giving my opinion
cmake seems to be for those experienced with cmake.
configure, any idiot an use, look at me, I can do it :)
BTW, I'm 100% unix person, so this pc stuff is foreign.

yes. exactly my opinion. i doubt that bakefile will ever be used for
real projects besids wxart2d libraries, and dependend libs (which are
forced to use it by some extend)
so regardless of its theoretical usability i would just drop it.

yeah, but finaly the ability to use the bakefile make process should be
removed. as francesco pointed out already, it would result in a
maintainance nightmare..
user: xyz fails to compile..
klaas: did u use bakefile or cmake?
user: bakefile, because feature abc failed with cmake at line ..

oops, of course 'wxwidgets team' was meant:
