 I'm not sure how appropriate this would be. The debug build of wxWidgets
is meant for developers and not end users. Of course, LMI users are a more
limited/closed group than usual so maybe it does make sense in this
particular case but some adjustments still may need to be made. For
example, I don't think it's really useful to show assert messages to them
so you may want to override wxApp::OnAssertFailure().

 I also wonder if you need --enable-debug_info (--enable-debug is a
superposition of --enable-debug_info and --enable-debug_flag and so
includes it). This makes the library enormously bigger, especially when
using gcc, without any benefits that I can see as the users, even LMI ones,
are unlikely to be running it under gdb. So maybe you should be using just
--enable-debug_flag (which enables asserts and other features controlled by
__WXDEBUG__)?
