compilation fix: wxColour::GetColor() returns const object

// Name:        wx/cocoa/objc/objc_uniquifying.h
// Purpose:     Allows wxWidgets code to get a direct pointer to a compiled
//              Objective-C class and provides a method to fix up the
//              name to include a unique identifier (currently the address
//              of the objc_class structure).
