I "think" the easiest path is to write a C++ library (since wxWindows 
is written in C++) but create the "wrapped" routines in a "C friendly" 
way (by using extern C{...} ).  
A library such as this wrapped in a DLL looks just like a C DLL 
(and I assume the same for shared libraries on *nix).
This is the approach I was using for FLTK and FOX and it seemed to 
work fine.
