made wxLogGui more flexible and documented it and added example of customizing it to the dialogs sample (now with the docs)

@class wxLogGui
This is the default log target for the GUI wxWidgets applications. It is passed
to wxLog::SetActiveTarget at the program
startup and is deleted by wxWidgets during the program shut down.
This is the default log target for the GUI wxWidgets applications.
@library{wxbase}
Please see @ref overview_log_customize for explanation of how to change the
default log target.
An object of this class is used by default to show the log messages created
by using wxLogMessage(), wxLogError() and other logging functions. It
doesn't display the messages logged by them immediately however but
accumulates all messages logged during an event handler execution and then
shows them all at once when its Flush() method is called during the idle
time processing. This has the important advantage of showing only a single
dialog to the user even if several messages were logged because of a single
error as it often happens (e.g. a low level function could log a message
because it failed to open a file resulting in its caller logging another
message due to the failure of higher level operation requiring the use of
this file). If you need to force the display of all previously logged
messages immediately you can use wxLog::FlushActive() to force the dialog
display.
Also notice that if an error message is logged when several informative
messages had been already logged before, the informative messages are
discarded on the assumption that they are not useful -- and may be
confusing and hence harmful -- any more after the error. The warning
and error messages are never discarded however and any informational
messages logged after the first error one are also kept (as they may
contain information about the error recovery). You may override DoLog()
method to change this behaviour.
At any rate, it is possible that that several messages were accumulated
before this class Flush() method is called. If this is the case, Flush()
uses a custom dialog which shows the last message directly and allows the
user to view the previously logged ones by expanding the "Details"
wxCollapsiblePane inside it. This custom dialog also provides the buttons
for copying the log messages to the clipboard and saving them to a file.
However if only a single message is present when Flush() is called, just a
wxMessageBox() is used to show it. This has the advantage of being closer
to the native behaviour but it doesn't give the user any possibility to
copy or save the message (except for the recent Windows versions where @c
Ctrl-C may be pressed in the message box to copy its contents to the
clipboard) so you may want to override DoShowSingleMessage() to customize
wxLogGui -- the dialogs sample shows how to do this.
