The H2 heading should say Mac for consistency, I agree. Done.

I think it's totally irrelevant on this page, except maybe the Linux/Unix section (which *doesn't* mention it), and it means the page pointlessly needs to be updated whenever we upgrade wxWidgets. 

"Twice", because anchor links are given out for each OS. 

Otherwise, historical reasons, I guess, Paul started this "Nightly
Builds" page and mentioned the Widgets version:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/w/index.php?title=Nightly_Builds&oldid=9801 . 

And then IIRC there have been times when HEAD had increased the 
Widgets version some time before a release, so HEAD was different
than current release. But anyhow, I've removed the Widgets 
references - as you suggest, there is no automatic way to update 
the version number (without extra work). 
 
The reason Linux didn't mention the widgets version is that those
builds are outside our control (targeted at Ubuntu release versions 
of Audacity). So they were using 2.8.11 for a long time after 
Audacity releases moved to 2.8.12. And they are not our release 
configuration, as they have always used libsamplerate (and still do,
as of the last daily available today).
