Summary: wxSystem -> _tsystem on MinGW

Initial Comment:
I am using wx2.8.4 on WinXP build with MinGW gcc. 
I build my own projects with Code::Blocks and MinGW gcc.

If I use wxSystem() it is wrapped to _tsystem() and that occures an error on Windows because _tsystem() doesn't exists. It should be system(). 

_tsystem() is defined for WinCE. 

The problem is in two different projects.

Somebody said to me it is a bug If wx is used with MinGW. Using wxExecute() works.

But something should be done with wxSystem(). Maybe a deprecated (use wxExecute() instead of wxSystem()) message while compiling or something like that.

There will be major changes in related parts of wxWidgets (wxcrt.h) on CVS
HEAD in the next few days, please try again once they are checked in.

Ok, I tried it with the current CVS but the problem is still there. I
opened a bug on MinGW.

This looks like a mingw32 bug, please open a bug report with them: their
tchar.h should define _tsystem just as they already do it for all the other
functions.

In the meanwhile I've tried to fix it in wx itself, please test this and
let me know if it works for you, thanks.
