I agree, we should provide the wx frontend since it has extra features.

I agree, we also provide separate packages in similar cases like mgba
and mgba-qt.

The hard part :) is what to name the wx package. We shouldn't call it
"visualboyadvance-m" after the executable, because nobody looking at
the package names will know the difference between the "vbam" and
"visualboyadvance-m" packages. So maybe vbam-wxwidgets?

Needs additional RUN_DEPENDS.
