+wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
+sizers.  This means that the item's GetAdjustedBestSize will be called
+when calculating layout and the return value from that will be used
+for the minimum size.  Added wx.FIXED_SIZE flag for when you would
+like the old behavior but you should only need it when your desired
+size is smaller than the item's GetBestSize()

+This allows for more consistency in how you add the various types of

+can be a sequence or a wx.Size.)
