It does, as far as I can tell.

That's not our fault, I think :)
You need wxWidgets-2.8.*.
wx-config should have been installed as part of the wxWidgets package. Is 
that not included in the windows-installer of wxWidgets?

$ which wx-config
/usr/bin/wx-config
$ wx-config --help

 wx-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--release] [--version-
full]
           [--list] [--selected-config] [--host=HOST] [--toolkit=TOOLKIT]
           [--universal[=yes|no]] [--unicode[=yes|no]] [--debug[=yes|no]]
           [--static[=yes|no]] [--version[=VERSION]] [--basename] [--cc]
           [--cppflags] [--cflags] [--cxxflags] [--rescomp] [--libs] [--
cxx]
           [--ld] [--linkdeps] [--utility=UTIL] [LIB ...]

    wx-config returns information about the wxWidgets libraries available 
on
  your system.  It may be used to retrieve the information required to 
build
  applications using these libraries using --cppflags, --cflags,  --
cxxflags
  and --libs options.
