I am not familiar with nmake usage, but if it is like make, you should be
able to say something like "nmake VERBOSE=1 ..." to get all the details
of the build including compile definitions.  Alternatively, if VERBOSE=1
does not work, you might want to try the cmake 
option, -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON.  Either of those options is easier
than wading through Makefile fragments.

However, that is a side issue, and the above result is obviously wrong. From
greping through our build system files in a hurry without looking at too
many details, it appears _for Windows builds only_ WXUSINGDLL, UNICODE, and
_UNICODE are appended to wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS, etc., in
cmake/modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake, and then used (properly I believe) to set
the directory COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property in
bindings/wxwidgets/CMakeLists.txt.  That directory property means the -D
should automatically be prepended to the compiler definitions of
WXUSINGDLL, UNICODE, and _UNICODE, but obviously above that is not
happening.

I wonder if you have found a cmake bug.  What version of cmake are you using?

If you are not already using cmake-2.8.0, I strongly encourage your to give
that a try instead.
