Hold off on using that just yet.  The consensus is that we need to use
wx3 due to issues with wx2.8.  Although wx3 is not without it's own
issues.  I need to fix our FindwxWidgets to handle versions.  Once this
is done I will commit that change, force the wx version to be >= 3, and
make an announcement on the mailing list that wx2.8 is no longer
supported.  I'm sure there will be some whining but it needs to be done.
