right my fault, checking python version from USE_WXPYTHON should be removed.

OK, understood.

Well I am not sure about wx/wxpython version check. C/C++ code needed
for digitization tool is compiled against wx library. So maybe
checking wx version makes sense. Maybe also --with-wx-includes and
--with-wx-lib are need (and to rename --with-wxpython to --with-wx)?
