Unfortunately, Fink's gimp2 is not upgradeable to the latest 2.8.2 
because of missing dependencies. A quick check through the configure 
script shows that it needs babl-0.1.10 (Fink has 0.1.4) and gegl-0.2 
(Fink has 0.1.6).  Those are probably easily updateable.  However, it 
also has a requirment for glib-2.30.2 and Fink's glib2 is stuck at 2.22 
because newer glib2 is broken on OS X in the latest versions.  There 
might be more missing dependencies, but I stopped at glib2 since it's fatal.

So until glib2 is correctly buildable under OS X, gimp2 is stuck at 2.6.
