Implemented PocketPC menubar/toolbar as wxToolMenuBar derived

Browse Source 
from wxToolBar, solving the problem of how normal toolbars
can co-exist with combined ones. Tidied up WinCE toolbar code.
Implemented wxToolBar as 'dummy' toolbar under Smartphone.
Dialogs now show an empty menubar to hide inactive one
underneath.

Notifications (bubble HTML text with optional buttons and links) will also be

Modeless dialogs probably don't make sense for PocketPC and Smartphone, since
frames and dialogs are normally full-screen, and a modeless dialog is normally
intended to co-exist with the main application frame.
\subsubsection{Menubars and toolbars in wxWinCE}
Menubars and toolbars can only be implemented using a combined control,
but you can use the same syntax as before; wxWidgets will combine the menubar
and toolbar.
\wxheading{Menubars and toolbars in PocketPC}
On PocketPC, a frame must always have a menubar, even if it's empty.
An empty menubar is automatically provided for dialogs, to hide
any existing menubar for the duration of the dialog.
Menubars and toolbars are implemented using a combined control,
but you can use essentially the usual wxWidgets API; wxWidgets will combine the menubar
and toolbar. However, there are some restrictions:
\itemsep=0pt
\begin{itemize}
\item You must create the frame's primary toolbar with wxFrame::CreateToolBar,
because this uses the special wxToolMenuBar class (derived from wxToolBar)
to implement the combined toolbar and menubar. Otherwise, you can create and manage toolbars
using the wxToolBar class as usual, for example to implement an optional
formatting toolbar above the menubar as Pocket Word does. But don't assign
a wxToolBar to a frame using SetToolBar - you should always use CreateToolBar
for the main frame toolbar.
\item Deleting and adding tools to wxToolMenuBar is not supported.
\end{itemize}
\wxheading{Menubars and toolbars in Smartphone}
On Smartphone, there are only two menu buttons, so a menubar is simulated
using a nested menu on the right menu button. Toolbars are simply ignored on
using a nested menu on the right menu button. Any toolbars are simply ignored on
Smartphone.
