Summary: wxchar.h not compilable with Borland C++

Initial Comment:
I was using wxWidgets 2.7.1 with Borland C++ 2006.
When upgrading to 2.7.2, there are a lots of errors.

The line 338 of wxchar.h is the problem:
        WXDLLIMPEXP_BASE FILE * wxMSLU__tfopen(const
wxChar *name, const wxChar *mode);

(note: if I replace "FILE" by "void", compilation is OK
for a while, but will stop when a function will want to
use wxMSLU__tfopen, I didn't succeed to understand why
"FILE" is a problem)
