Description
Is there a reason why py-wxpython-4.0 builds its own copy of wxWidgets rather than using the one in the wxWidgets-3.2 port?
Using the existing port would speed up build time, reduce disk space, and resolve #73090.

From the wxpython (Phoenix) github page:
If you would rather use an already built and installed wxWidgets then that is possible as well by changing some options, see python build.py --help for details. However be aware that doing so will require a wxWidgets that is very close to the same age as the Phoenix code, at least for the unreleased preview snapshots. In other words, the wxWidgets build should use code from the wxWidgets source repository within a few days of when the Phoenix code was checked out. Currently the master branch of Phoenix is tracking the master branch of wxWidgets.
