Wx is a binding on wxWidgets3.0, which is GTK+ based, so if you don't
want Gtk2 et al you probably don't want that either.
SGMLSpm is standalone and straight-forward.

I'd have to go back and look as to why it was wanted/needed. I'd say
if it still builds and works with my changes, then ship it, if not,
either let someone else pick it up, or drop it.
