 .SH DESCRIPTION
+\fIwx-config\fP is a tool to determine the compiler and linker
+flags required for applications using the \fIwxWindows\fP toolkit(s).
 .PP
-\fIwx-config\fP is a tool used to determine the compiler and
-linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs
-that use \fIwxGTK\fP.
-.
+\fIwx-config\fP is normally a symlink to one of the port-specific
+versions like \fIwxbase-config\fP or \fIwxgtk-config\fP which
+designates the default port to compile applications with.
+You can override this default either by using one of the specific
+versions directly, or by changing which version the symlink points to.
+On Debian systems this can be done using the
+.BR update-alternatives (8)
+mechanism.
