start with 2.8.4 or 2.9

[Riccardo Cohen]

by the way, in the 2.9 I've checked out today, I found a compilation 
error in ../src/mac/carbon/taskbar.cpp:293 = GetText does not seem to be 
a valid function of wxMenuItem

I just replaced it by "" in my code. But in general, to be sure that 
next svn update replace my temporary file, what would be the "temporary 
fixing" strategy ? : I won't ask developers to change repository each 
time I find something like that ?
