-- wxStopWatch class, timer functions have more chances to return correct
-  results for your platform (use ANSI function where available)

+- fixed "missing" initial resize of wxMDIChildFrame

+- wxTextCtrl insertion point set to the beginning of the control by SetValue
+- Fix so wxMDIParentFrame is actually shown when Show(TRUE) is called.
