No changes, just get rid of some wxT()s in wxString unit test.

+Compared to the previous 2.9.4 release the most important change at
+the API level is the introduction of new, shorter constants for the
+event types making code using Bind() for dynamic event handling easier
+to both write and read. But the main focus of this release is on
+incremental improvements and fixing defects in preparation for 3.0
+release. In particular, wxOSX/Cocoa port has been significantly
+improved. And there were fixes to the still exprimental wxGTK3 port
+which now also support GTK+ Broadway (HTML5-based) backend.
