Hi,
currently A::wx does not detect an already installed wxWidgets version if it was compiled by A::wx itself and installed together with A::wx, hence every upgrade to A::wx forces an unnecessary wxWidgets recompilation. Three options are:

1 - keep everything as is, since nobody (I can remember of) complained
    about it
2 - autodetect the installed wxWidgets and give the user the option to
    use it; since A::wx does not ask any questions when running from the
    CPAN(PLUS) shell, this means wxWidgets will never be upgraded when
    installing via the shell
3 - autodetect the installed wxWidgets like in 2, but change the default
    answer to "do you want to build wxWidgets" from no to yes if the
    installed wxWidgets version is too old (for some value of "too old")

  What do you think?

Regards,
Mattia
