For information, the 8.x and 9.x series were the same thing, with the 8.x
using GTK+ and 9.x using wxWidgets. They shared the same source code, but
used different toolkits. I must admit that it looks like a strange
numbering scheme to me, too.
According to Irene, 8.54 was the last GTK+ release, this toolkit being
dropped (and the configure option will most probably disappear with it, I
hope). So no need to worry about it anyway :)

HTH,

Regis
