OK, but maybe it is worth at least to show users the warning about
expected troubles (note that I have changed the default just for MS
Windows 64bit + gcc).
As wx-2.8.10 simply cannot be build on 64bit MS Windows via gcc, Padre
users on 64bit MS Windows installing A:wx as a dependecy with current
defaults will end up with build failure.
On the other hand I have to admit that there are some strange 64bit
troubles with Wx module so it wont be easy to install Padre on 64bit MS
Windows anyway.

Exactly, as there is no wsock32 on 64bit MS Windows, on the other hand
ws2_32works with both (32/64bit)
Thanks for prompt response.
