 The wx-config script used by configure has disabled the GUI component of
 wxWidgets.

 If you have multiple versions of wxWidgets installed, pass the full path
 to the correct wx-config script to the --with-wxwidgets= configure option.

 If you only have a GUI-less version of wxWidgets, it appears that we don't
 handle that correctly at present. As for whether we should care about that
 ...

  * It's uncertain whether the wximgview program will be retained (it's
 unclear whether it has any advantage over the Python version in
 scripts/wxpyimgview)
  * We'd need a custom test; LOC_CHECK_LIBS isn't going to work for a C++
 class (or anything with C++ symbol mangling, for that matter).
  * How common is a GUI-less version of wxWidgets? Should it even be called
 wxWidgets if it doesn't actually include any widgets?</snark>
