I’ve got a couple of orthogonal thoughts here.
1) I’d be up for creating a new name for the Cocoa variant, like
wxwidgets300-mac, and having that and the gtk2 variant use a common .info file
and install their files in %p/opt/wxwidgets300-{mac|gtk2} , respectively.
That adheres to our policies by avoiding file collisions and having to force
rebuild reverse-dependent packages.
2) There’s a precedent for using the system’s Python—most the packages noted
with “system python” in their names link to the system’s Python.framework.
