For those keeping an eye on the project, the two major issues impacting using this with Arch are:
Issue 92: Choose any executable from any path: https://code.google.com/p/wxlauncher/issues/detail?id=92
Issue 93: wxLauncher doesn't follow fs2_open behavior of writing to ~/.fs2_open https://code.google.com/p/wxlauncher/issues/detail?id=93
The software didn't seem quite designed to not have full r/w access to a single directory that has everything >.>

Ping me on irc sometime (ZekeS) - finally someone else interested in FS2 with whom I can discuss packaging things (especially wxLauncher, which expects a program layout rather different than the one currently used ...)

State of this package
Currently it is not possible to build the latest "stable" version of wxLauncher on modern Arch Linux because it relies on very out of date packages that Arch no longer includes. These issues are mostly fixed in the upstream repository, so if they ever release a new version then I will update this package. As it is, I recommend using the wxlauncher-git package, which does currently work.
