Maybe it should, but it does not. And then, auto-detecting may not
be a good idea if both gtk+-v1 and gtk+-v2 are installed in parallel,
as is the case with my system. In this case, the autodetection result
would depend on the user's path settings. In this situation it is good
to have a way of specifying what you want.

True. Although since we should probably (ha!) choose the latest version by
default if we can, perhaps the simplest thing is just to always use
gtk2+-2 if it's there, falling back to gtk-1.
I'd be interesting in John's opinions too (CC'd), as configtool-meister;
and in particular what the system he was using for builds has on it.... I
thought it was a recent Red Hat Linux distro which would mean gtk2 is
installed. Although is the problem specifically when gtk2 is present but
gtk1 is not, as John may have both installed.

My preference is to treat the configuration, building and installation of
wxWindows completely independently. Developers should be at liberty to
configure this library in whatever way they wish. My own recipe for
building the configtool uses a different make file named "makefile.gnu" and
is described at:

[speaking from a position of ignorance]
Shouldn't wxGTK determine the GTK version using autoconf or some other
magic way?

Building wxGTK-2.4.0 as part of the configtool build process does
not work with the existing makefile if gtk+-2.x is used. In this
case configure needs a --enable-gtk2 argument. Not sure how
to fix this. Should we just add --enable-gtk2 and obsolete
gtk-1.x? Or should a new target 'wx-gtk2' be introduced? But
then all targets currently depending on 'wx' would have to be
duplicated as well, adding 'full-gtk2' and so on.
