This surely wasn't intentional, just a side effect of switching to
automated build scripts for 2.7. I do agree that the directory should have
the same name as the file base name, i.e. wxGTK-2.7.0 in this case. The
only problem is with wxALL: it would really make sense to call the
directory wxWidgets in this case, but to also keep it consistent, maybe we
should call the archive wxWidgets-2.7.0.tar.gz as well?
Kevin, I would fix this myself in create_archives.sh but I'm not sure if
nothing else depends on the current naming so I'd feel safer if you did it
(should be a trivial change), could you please do it?
TIA!
