Most definitely :)

I will do that tonight.

Ah, I tried it yesterday, but my wxWidgets installation was not recognised,
despite the hints I gave (the FindWxWidgets.cmake file documents a few
variables that you can use). I have studied the find method, added a bunch of
debug statements to see what is going on, but sofar I have failed to make any
progress. (Note: The code is five or six pages long!)

Souds useful indeed, although it is tempting to try and make them less
idiosyncratic. I do have a bunch of such scripts, so populating the directories
you suggest ought not to be too difficult. I do lack time this week and this
weekend to do much about it. Next week provides better oportunities.
