If I'm understanding correctly, the OSGeo4W framework appears to be
part of the problem as those packagers used msvc rather than mingw to
compile several of the libraries.

Last night I compiled wxwidgets with mingw (though python and swig are
still msvc I think), which gave me a wx-config file to use in the
grass configure (trunk and devbr_6). During make, errors popped up for
xganim but not for vdigit. However, neither worked when I tested the
builds. Probably because i left out --with-cxx which I didn't realize
was required, and --with-python which I haven't been able to figure
out from the lists if its required or not. I should read the build
instructions more carefully. Was I missing anything else?
