Why not get 2.7.1 on Leopard, and do a proper wxWidgets 2.8 release ?
If Tiger shipped with 2.5.3, so I don't see why Leopard couldn't too...

Yeah, well, the traditional framework versioning is to name everything 
"A".
Maybe move to "B" once you do a major upgrade like from 2.6 to 2.8 or 
so ?

But it kinda sucks, so I went with the more sane "2.6.3" myself 
instead...
I don't think the A/B/C is an absolute rule, just something that NeXT 
did ?
