The only parts of the wx GUI which are "compiled" for any version of
[wx]Python are the vdigit and nviz modules. The core GUI doesn't
include any compiled code.

v.in.wfs uses v.in.ogr to perform the actual work, but this relies
upon GDAL/OGR having Xerces support.

The script tries to be clever and detect whether this is the case, but
the end result is that it often refuses to run simply because it
incorrectly concludes that GDAL lacks Xerces support.
