The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the
list of most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).
+wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be required
+in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on each MDI child menu
+as well as the MDI parent frame.

-Constructor. Pass the maximum number of files that should be stored and displayed.
+{\it idBase} defaults to wxID\_FILE1 and represents the id given to the first
+history menu item. Since menu items can't share the same ID you should change
+idBase (To one of your own defined IDs) when using more than one wxFileHistory
+in your application.
