Okay, it makes sense that I got libraries with the 'd' when I rebuilt
using '--enable-debug'.

I believe that's indeed the case. These are my results from using and a wx cvs
checkout as of 2005-07-07:

built manually modifying setup.h and using cmd
C:\downloads\wxWidgets\lib\gcc_dll>ls .
libwxexpatd.a            libwxpngd.a              libwxzlibd.a
libwxjpegd.a             libwxregexd.a            mswd
libwxmsw26d.a            libwxtiffd.a             wxmsw26d_gcc_custom.dll

built with configure && make using msys:

Since lmi relies on the debug version, I've added the appropriate option.
Is there a real benefit to using the "debug" version versus the "release"
version. It seems as though the debug file is 625% bigger than the release
one:
47957kb  wxmsw26d_gcc_custom.dll
 7675kb  wxmsw26_gcc_custom.dll
