NB: you risk to get quite a few warnings about "ANSI C++ forbids implicit
conversion from 'void *'" in all places where va_arg macro is used. This
is due to a bug in (some versions of) mingw32 headers which may be
corrected by editing the file
${install_prefix}/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32/egcs-2.91.57/include/stdarg.h
(instead of egcs-2.91.57 you may have something different), searching for
the lines
/* Define __gnuc_va_list. */
#ifndef __GNUC_VA_LIST
#define __GNUC_VA_LIST
#if defined(__svr4__) || defined(_AIX) || defined(_M_UNIX) || defined(__NetBSD__)
typedef char *__gnuc_va_list;
#else
typedef void *__gnuc_va_list;

and adding "|| defined(_WIN32)" to the list of platforms on which
__gnuc_va_list is char *.
If this is successful, you end up with a libwx_msw.a in win32/lib. Now try
building the minimal sample:
-> cd samples/minimal
-> make
-> mv minimal minimal.exe
and run it with wine, for example
