That can be dangerous, perhaps you will like it so much that you will
stick with it ;)

Perhaps you should check if WX_CONFIG is set and only set it if it is not
already set because the way it is now you overwrite the WX_CONFIG
variable. Perhaps you could do the same for the MAKE variable.

I always had a symlink from sdl11-config to sdl-config but I nearly forgot
some patches when porting SGE because of this so I decided to remove the
symlink.

I checked again to be sure. It only installs the gdc and cc1d binaries.

I put my FreeBSD specific patches here:
http://webplaza.pt.lu/~mpjjjjsj/files/wxD/patch-wxd-Makefile
http://webplaza.pt.lu/~mpjjjjsj/files/wxD/patch-wxd-wx-Makefile
http://webplaza.pt.lu/~mpjjjjsj/files/wxD/patch-wxd-wxc-Makefile

Here is also the Makefile of the port in case you're interested:
http://webplaza.pt.lu/~mpjjjjsj/files/wxD/Makefile
Strangely I have to rename the GNUmakefiles to Makefile because gmake
doesn't find them otherwise when run from the port. Perhaps it is called
with -f Makefile, I don't know.

Furthermore
$(INSTALL) -p *.d $(libdir)/d/wx/
doesn't work:

install -p *.d /var/tmp/wxd/lib/d/wx/
install: wrong number or types of arguments
usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
               [-o owner] file1 file2
       install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
               [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory
       install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ...

I tried
$(INSTALL) -p `ls -1 | grep -v Makefile` $(libdir)/d/wx/
but it returns the same error.
