-Beginning with snapshot 6, wxWindows uses a completely
-new make file system on Unix that uses GNU automake,
-GNU autoconf and GNU autoheader. You do not need these
-programs in order to use the library, but for taking
-part in its development, they are required. Read the
-INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with the
-new configure/automake/libtool system.
+the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
+final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
+been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
+to work better than any other previous version.

+Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before
+a final release.
+
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+
+Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
+new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
+various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
+to write any more makefiles.
