Julian Smart a0a302dcba Added Win95 implementation of OutputDebugString; added to wxVariant class
(just so Vadim hates it even more :-))

* wxVariantData stores the actual data in a wxVariant object,
* to allow it to store any type of data.
* Derive from this to provide custom data handling.
*
* TODO: in order to replace wxPropertyValue, we would need
* to consider adding constructors that take pointers to C++ variables,
* or removing that functionality from the wxProperty library.
* Essentially wxPropertyValue takes on some of the wxValidator functionality
* by storing pointers and not just actual values, allowing update of C++ data
* to be handled automatically. Perhaps there's another way of doing this without
* overloading wxVariant with unnecessary functionality.
