Okay, I have successfully manually tested wxWidgets3.0 on both 32-bit
and 64-bit Cygwin, and I haven't found any significant issues. It also
seems to work with my existing wxPython build but I'm going to recompile
that anyway just to be sure and to get the new version number for
wxWidgets in the build.

The test packages are available for download at
https://www.hamishmb.com/files/cygwin-temp/ as usual, and my cygport
file is attached here.

Here's a quick summary of the changes I've made:

- Updated to wxWidgets 3.0.5.1 from 3.0.4.

- Added build dependencies.

- Evaluated lots of new patches (over 80), and found that nearly none of
them were needed (already patched in new source), so we only have a few
new patches.

- Updated the wxGTK collision patch for wxwidgets 3.0.5.1 as the old one
wouldn't apply.

- Use pushd and popd instead of cd in the cygport file.

- Enable automated unit tests in the cygport file (these currently do
work so I tested manually).

- Enable and test wxwebview with webkit (works fine in all configurations).

I'd like to use the AppVeyor CI tool to double check the build and build
dependencies, but the very high RAM usage during compilation (12GB!)
makes me think it might crash that system. Is it safe for me to proceed?
I really don't want to ruin someone's day by crashing the CI system(s).
I think I need a GTG before  can do this because I don't currently own
the package, but I'm not sure.

Finally, I'm going to keep these as test packages until I've got
wxPython build and tested against them, which will be maybe another week
or so depending on other priorities.

Any feedback is very welcome :)
