wxTaskBarIcon on mac: Show in system tray?

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi

under OS 9 it was a hack, under OS X it has an API, NSStatusBar and 
NSStatusMenu

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/StatusBar/index.html

I am working on getting wxMenu to work using NSMenu, so eventually we 
will get there ...

Best,

Stefan
