Options inplace and with-wxdir don't work for 2.4 even if I regenerate
configure script with 2.5 wxwin.m4. However, I have given up and wrote
the script that modifies LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Sources of 2.4 will not be
updated so I can just use installed headers.

The problem is that once you have multiple libraries with that same
name, LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't help and if you set it anyway, it gets hard 
to predict what gets linked to which library.

Yes, installation should always use standard system libraries or rename 
its private versions. However, we are talking about debugging of the
library. Absolute paths specified during compilation are good solution
here.

It is usable, but it's redundant to configure options, the work could be
centralized for all developers and it affects helpers executed from
within Mahogany.
