7wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
8snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
f6bcfd97 9GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs

10will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now beta support
11for GTK 2.0.

39that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes
40out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
41problems.
