Hi Orion
AGG is going to be dropped for the next release anyway. I am currently
finishing of some changes to the wxWidgets driver that simplify the code base
considerably, including ditching agg and wxGraphicsContext backend in favour of
a single wxDC backend that can use a wxGCDC to get the same functionality.

I guess I don't understand why you couldn't just branch off of an earlier
point if you needed to do a bugfix release. Most projects would have already
made a stable branch for such things, but you could do it at any time.

It's look pretty good so far. Difference so far:
+-- checking for module 'libagg'
+-- package 'libagg' not found
+-- Could NOT find AGG (missing: AGG_LIBRARIES AGG_INCLUDE_DIR)
+-- WARNING: AGG not found. Setting HAVE_AGG to OFF.
+-- WARNING: wxwidgets driver and bindings components depending on AGG library
have been dropped
Before, HAVE_AGG showed blank. Perhaps I should enable it now. Suggestions?
I dropped it a while back:
* Thu Aug 9 2012 Orion Poplawski <or...@cora.nwra.com> - 5.9.9-10.svn12202
- Drop agg support
not sure why now.
--- Cairo OCaml library found
--- checking for module 'cairo'
--- found cairo, version 1.14.0
--- lablgtk2 OCaml library found
+-- WARNING:Cairo OCaml library not found. Disabling Plcairo module
+-- WARNING:Cairo OCaml library not found. Disabling lablgtk2 support
+-- WARNING: lablgtk2 OCaml library not found.
Hmm, will have to figure out why plplot can no longer find it. This is
definitely due to a plplot change.
