Summary: ActiveX + wxUSE_VARIANT

Initial Comment:
I'm working with CVS HEAD and trying to build a very
minimalistic wxMSW library, with only those options,
which I actually use in my program.

I set a lot of the wxUSE_ Options to 0. There are some
build errors, which are easy to fix and for which I'll
propose another patch. However, I've a problem with
ActiveX.
I tried to take option and set wxUSE_VARIANT 0 in
setup.h. I need only clipboard functionality from
within wxWidgets, so I did set the options like this:

#define wxUSE_CLIPBOARD     1
#define wxUSE_DATAOBJ       1
#define wxUSE_DRAG_AND_DROP 0
#define wxUSE_MEDIACTRL     0
#define wxUSE_VARIANT       0

There seem to be some nasty dependencies within
ActiveX. The Errors begin like this:
11>------ Build started: Project: adv, Configuration:
Unicode Debug x64 ------
11>Compiling...
11>dummy.cpp
10>Compiling...
10>mediactrlcmn.cpp
10>activex.cpp
10>..\..\include\wx/msw/ole/activex.h(192) : error
C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier
'm_params'

ActiveX.h looks like this around these lines:
188: class wxActiveXEvent : public wxCommandEvent
189: {
190: private:
191:     friend class wxActiveXEvents;
192:     wxVariant m_params;
193:     DISPID m_dispid;

wxActiveXEvent seems to only be needed in those
MediaCtrl classes, like wxAMMediaBackend and
wxWMP10MediaBackend.

Doing "#if wxUSE_MEDIACTRL" around ActiveX.h doesn't
sound reasonable, as the user may not be able to
associate ActiveX with wxMediaCtrl. It feels like there
is a need for wxUSE_ACTIVEX or some more checks in
chkconf.h
So I didn't make a patch like this and reported just a
bug note. Sorry if this sounds lazy.

IMHO, wxWidgets should compile cleanly with above options.
