I had a bug report of segfaults if wxConfig.Get() was called before the 
app object was created.  This is because it is trying to use the app 
object to know how to make a default config object.  So I added the 
must-have-app directive to it.  Since the plain config classes also use 
the app object for getting the app name and vendor name I thought it 
would make sense to also add the directive there, but I see now that it 
is already checking that the app exists so I guess I didn' need to do 
that...
