It's an environment variable. You can set environment variables within
an existing shell session with e.g.

	export GRASS_WXVERSION=2.8-gtk2-unicode

If you're using bash, you can set environment variables in
~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc or various other places, but those are
only read when starting a new shell (~/.bash_profile is only read when
starting a login shell); changing those file won't affect any existing
shell sessions.
