wxSocket on Mac - use of Hostname fails

[Hugo Jackson]

wxIPV4address.Hostname() accepts either an address in either dot quad  
notation or a fully qualified domain name, and works equally well on  
the mac as the ip.

however, on the mac you cannot bind an interface to a wxSocketServer,  
so you need to use wxIPV4address.AnyAddress() in order to set the  
address for a new instance of wxSocketServer.
