Sorry, you lost me here.  I get that Fedora doesn't currently have a W32 
wxWidgets package, thats why I was asking if anyone had an interest in my 
making such a package.  What do you see as making it not so easy?  The wx 
sources cross build very nicely with mingw, I've been doing it for years with 
a hand built mingw.  The .spec for wxGTK with very few changes should work 
pretty much out the door with no patches or anything.

I'm new to packaging so maybe I am being naive?  But getting a cross built wx 
for win32 is no problem with mingw.
