JP,

If we are making 2.9 the required version for Windows, I will remove the
conditional compilation zoom code and restore the old behavior which will work
properly with 2.8 on Linux and OSX.  At some point when I get some extra time,
I'll write a CMake macro that will complain if the version of wxWidgets isn't
correct which will put this issue to rest once and for all.
