Summary: wxRichTextCtrl: DC Renderer

Initial Comment:
I'm missing something like wxHtmlDCRenderer in the API of wxRichTextCtrl. It should be possible to render the contents of a wxRichTextCtrl into a rectangular area of a DC (with fixed width, return-value for the consumed height, and the ability to render the remaining text into another rectangular area if a given constraint in the height was reached).

With this, a user of wxRichTextCtrl can implement page-layouts that go beyond the capabilities of wxRichTextPrinting. For example, you can print tables where the cells contain RichText (but the table itself isn't RichText). Or you can implement double-column-layout.
