- no initialization/cleanup can be done in wxApp/~wxApp because they are
now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code
from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
+- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon
-- the values of many colours have been updated to match their official
- definitions which unfortunately means that "orange" colour in wxWindows
- 2.5 is not the same colour as in 2.4 series.
