There is some problems in the lastest CVS version extconf.rb.

1) depends file problem

I see this error
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'button.obj'
Stop.

The content of depends is like this:
app.o: app.cpp wx.h  app_cb.h app.h

But for Windows environment it must be like this:
app.obj: app.cpp wx.h  app_cb.h app.h

I recommand remove  'f.puts("include depends")' from extconf.rb
And rename "depends" to "depend".
Then extconf.rb automatically modify content of depend file and add to
Makefile.

2) additional dependency required
Following lines required in depend file

togglebutton.o: togglebutton.cpp  togglebutton.h
grid.o: grid.cpp grid.h
menuitem.o: menuitem.cpp menuitem.h
