wxwidgets

Description

wxWidgets is a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, macOS, Linux and other platforms with a single code base. It has popular language bindings for Python, Ruby, Lua, Perl and several other languages, and unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets gives applications a truly native look and feel because it uses the platform's native API rather than emulating the GUI. It's also extensive, free, open-source and mature.

Same as https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/pull/16489#issuecomment-3523986284, I don't think it's a good idea to add a C++ library to a Scoop bucket either.

It might be better to use vcpkg/conan instead.
