Aha!  That makes sense now.

Presuming that whatever additions Jazz++ requires make it into the 
next wxWidgets release (2.8.8?) then my distribution will eventually 
pick that up, including wxGTK2.8-2.8.8-1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm and its
development companions in the distribution repository and maybe even 
on the installation media.

Now I just need to decide for myself whether or not to attempt to 
follow Mandriva's parallel library version installation scheme.  My
alternative is to install the alpha wxWidgets in a jazz++ specific 
place.
