The wxPython version is handled by the CheckForWx() function in
gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py. The default is taken from the
GRASS_WXVERSION environment variable if that's defined, otherwise it
allows wxversion to select the version, subject to the constraint that
the version must be at least 2.8.10.1.
