.jhbuild-custom is entirely for you. The one in the distribution is just an example. Do whatever you like. Do note that the SDK string is assembled from the version you pass to setup_sdk(), so even if there isn't anything special for a new version in .jhbuildrc it will still build fine against the new SDK. I've already done a successful build against 10.9, for example.

It's also a bit off-topic for here, as Gtk-OSX has its own mailing list, gtk-osx-users-list at gnome.org

That said, I *should* add 10.8 and 10.9 to the list in the example, so I have.
