I'm saying it'll need more changes compared to the native Fedora package
than most other libs because you'll be building a different wxWidgets
backend than for the native Fedora package, whereas for most other libs,
you just have to mingw-ize the specfile.
I haven't checked how many changes are needed exactly.
