There are two functions which must be implemented by any derived class to
actually process the log messages: \helpref{DoLog}{wxlogdolog} and
There also functions to support message buffering. Why are they needed?
Some of wxLog implementations, most notably the standard wxLogGui class,
buffer the messages (for example, to avoid showing the user a zillion of modal
