 It's true that having wxPen(const wxString&) ctor would also solve this
particular problem but if we didn't have wxColour(const char *) ctor then
code like

	void MyFunction(const wxColour& col);

	...

	MyFunction("black");

would break and I think such code occurs often enough to warrant having the
extra wxColour ctor to fix it.
