Yes. The --static flag is only useful in the case where a user has
both a static and dynamic build of wxWidgets in the same tree.

Yes, your patch would add support for those people with both build
types.

There are no references to pg_static_build in acinclude any more.
Well, okay there's one, but it doesn't do anything because
pg_static_build isn't set anywhere (sans your patch, of course).

Your patch is fine, just know that it terms of statically linking
pgAdmin3 as a whole it does nothing. It only helps any user with
both a dynamic and static wx select the one they want.
