My plan has always been to statically link the wrapper code directly against the wxWidgets shared libraries, so that the end result looked the same as the original libraries, but with the extra "shim" code stored inside.
I've built wxWidgets from source many times on Windows and Linux and I can tell you that I've rarely seen the sum of all shared libraries below 30 MB, even without debug symbols and after compressing them with UPX. I think wxWidgets 3.0 adds a lot more to the library that increases the total size (like propgrid, ribbon, stc, and webview) which, of course, we would want to wrap so we'd need to include it.
Here are the sizes of the files currently on my machine:
