Summary: wxImage doc is out of date

Initial Comment:
The documentation for wxImage states that:

"Note that currently only images loaded from PNG files with transparency information will have an alpha channel but alpha support will be added to the other formats as well (as well as support for saving images with alpha channel which also isn't implemented)."

This is not true - you can save images with alpha channel, as saving a bitmap with transparency as a PNG retains transparency.  If the intention of the above was that "Only PNGs currently load and save alpha channels", then perhaps this should be clarified.

This is indeed a bit confusing, tried to make it more clear now.
