WxBase Eventloop

exploring ways to implement an event loop and get wxTimer support into wxBase

Someday, this will be part of wxWidgets. In that case, what would our ideal be?

1. wxUSE_TIMER flag would work with wxBase. It should be understood that timers will only run if an event loop of some kind is implemented

2. a new flag, or maybe use wxUSE_EVTLOOP_IN_APP to instantiate an event loop in wxBase (wxConsoleApp)

3. refactor events which don't need a GUI, like key commands, mouse events, socket events, etc., so they are usable in wxConsoleApp.

- is this really moving toward a wxTextGUI or something? Where you could have windows, buttons, etc. implemented with ASCII text? That would be handy for embedded apps with text-only LCD displays...

Acutually Event loop is implemented for unix as patch to wx 2.5.3 (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=309863&aid=1113088&group_id=9863 for details)
