[Chandler-dev] new wx tarball r100

[Robin Dunn]

When you next do an update and "make install" in your chandler dir 
you'll get a new wx tarball based on revision 100 from the wx 
repository.  No changes in chandler are required to use this tarball. 
New features in this tarball include the following:

*  New factory functions for creating wx.Bitmaps directly from Python 
buffer objects, without needing to create a wx.Image first. Common 
buffer objects are strings, arrays, NumPy arrays, etc.

* Added wx.NativePixelBuffer, wx.AlphPixelBuffer and related iterator 
and accessor classes. They allow platform independent direct access to 
the platform specific pixel buffer inside of a wx.Bitmap object.

* Added wx.App.DisplayAvailable() which can be used to determine if a 
GUI can be created in the current environment. (Still need an 
implementation for wxMSW...)

* wx.Colour now includes an alpha component, which defaults to 
wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE. This is in preparation for allowing various new alpha 
blening functionality using wx.Colour objects, such as drawing with pens 
and brushes on a wx.DC. Use of the alpha component with wx.DC has been 
implemented so far on OS X.
