wxMac: Modal dialog in main frame constructor

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi

I think it should work, although for a splash screen wxApp::OnInit would
probably be more suitable.

The problem is not the code until the dialog shows up, but only later when
the message box pops up, then the message loop gets things wrong. I've seen
this in code when code was ported from msw or gtk and was looking for some
images, which it couldn't find in the mac build. So one typical source for
problems would be to debug OnPaint methods, or to put breakpoints in
wxMessageDialog::ShowModal
