Two things:

1. --with-sdl occurs twice in the .cygport file.  Be sure to remove both 
occurrences.

2. Running 'cygport wxWidgets3.0.cygport prep/compile/test/install' is 
not enough.  The 'install' part of this uses a destination directory 
'inst' in the work directory created by cygport.  You also have to run 
'cygport wxWidgets3.0.cygport package', which creates several package 
tarballs in the 'dist' directory.  The best way to proceed from there is 
explained in

   https://cygwin.com/package-server.html

under "Creating an overlay Cygwin package server".  If you use this 
method, then you'll have to bump the release number in the .cygport file 
so that setup will recognize that there's a new version of libwx_gtk3u3.0_0.
