Thanks Marius for reviewing that series.

I did not know that there was already a 2.8-version and haven't looked
into history. I copied the non-release URL from 3.1, which isn't
released yet :-)

I think I will just revert the commit you mentioned, as this worked
and was there in the past. How do I revert that, concerning the commit
message: Do I write a full, normal commmit like
"gnu/package/wxwidgets.scm: Add new variable"? Should I mention the
revert? Is it legitimate/necessary to add my copyright header,
although I haven't contributed any line?!

Thanks,

Björn
