Using the function InformFirstDirection(...). All sizers call it when 
the first size component has been determined. Based on discussions in 
this list I also added this function to wxWindow.

wxStaticText::GetMinSize() cannot just return fixed cached values. It has
to work together with InformFirstDirection(...) in a rather tight way.
