wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will

-that will cause the sizer to *not* call window methods to determine
-the new best size, instead the minsize that the window had when added
-to the sizer (or the size the window was created with) will always be
-used. When a window is added to a sizer it's initial size, if any, is
-set as the window's minimal size using SetSizeHints if there isn't
-already a minimal size. You can set the window's minimal size (via
-SetSizeHints) to manually control wha tthe sizer will use when

Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.

number of IDs that are needed to be passed to Connect.
