Thanks Kevin, work like this is really helpful and I'm sure will be much 
appreciated by the owners in question.

Fortunately you didn't get down as far as rapidsvn, which I already had 
in hand and is now built. However, a number of the remaining packages 
broken in devel suffer from the same problem which is the wxGTK update. 
  Some packages may just need a bump-n-build; others (like rapidsvn) 
need some small patches for methods/properties that have gone 
away/changed in WX 2.8. In my case (and I suspect the same is true for 
other packages) there was an open bug upstream with a patch, so 
resolution was easy. Hope that's useful to those (owners or otherwise) 
trying to fix up broken deps.
