nmake - give caller control of LIBOUTDIR about wxwidgets HOT 4 CLOSED

IMO, CMake is best to build wxWidgets: It allows the best customization (achieved by editing setup.h and build command line arguments when using provided nmakefiles) as well as fine control over the build/installation.

wxWidgets CMake docs are here: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/latest/overview_cmake.html

As for exploring all CMake build options, I recommend using CMake-GUI (and checking "Grouped" and "Advanced" there).

nmake makefiles will probably be removed in some not too distant future because we don't have resources for maintaining them. Please use MSBuild project files instead, they are already quite customizable via the use of the wx_local.props file and could be made more flexible if needed.

Aha I shall have a play around :)

eyyyy.. that's loads better. Got wxwidgets installed somewhere nice and portable in like 5 commands, and didn't have to edit a thing <3
