Line Benchmarks Tkinter vs. wxPython

Gordon Williams:
 |Hi,

 |Sorry, I should have given you the os as well.  I was running it under W95.

Sounds like a useful comparison, so I thought I'd devote a few minutes to
it.  

wxWindows fails to build under IRIX (dialog.cpp only knows Sun, Linux, or
FreeBSD...).  configure --disable-dialupman works around the problem.

wxWindows and wxPython both presume GNU make.  env MAKE=gmake ... works
around this for wxWindows, but not so for wxPython:

  > env MAKE=gmake python $WXWIN/utils/wxPython/distrib/build.py -b
  Makefile created:  Makefile
  Running: make -f Makefile
  make: file `Makefile' line 84: Must be a separator (: or ::) for rules (bu39)
  ...

Would be nice if build.py took its queues off of os.environ["MAKE"].  I
hacked sys.MAKE in build.py.

Then it failed finding wx.h.

I can hack -I flags in of course, but I thought I'd check to see what I'm
doing wrong.  The build instructions aren't too clear where to put the
tree, so I moved the wxPython dist under the wxGTK dist tree
(wxGTK/utils/wxPython) to build.
