Actually if you look in extconf.rb on Windows the modular version is
used look for the lines like:

    $WXLIB =  "#$WXLIBDIR/wxbase26#{$DEBUG_BUILDPOSTFIX}.lib"       
    $WXLIB += " #$WXLIBDIR/wxbase26#{$DEBUG_BUILDPOSTFIX}_net.lib"

etc.

The main problem with Windows is that it does not have the wx-config
script like OS X and Linux, so we will have to do this in a rakefile.
