Not yet.

There have been some changes, but nothing too major.  For
the most part 
it is basically the same as before.  As you've noticed the
wx and 
wxPython trees are separate now, but the wxPython part of
the build 
should work if you put the wxPython source tree in the old
position or 
if it is a sibling dir to the wxWidgets dir.  In other
words, it can 
either be:

	.../wxWidgets
	.../wxWidgets/wxPython

or:

	.../wxWidgets
	.../wxPython

Or you can set an WXDIR environment variable to tell
wxPython where the 
wx source tree is at.

The other big change that will alter the build instructions
is that you 
don't need to build the contribs libs any more, stc has been
moved into 
the core source tree, and gizmos has its own copy of the
needed C++ 
code.  So you can ignore all the stuff about the contribs
and just use 
plain make and make install.
