Summary: Stock colours (eg Wx::WHITE) are not available before App#on_init

Initial Comment:
The stock colour constants eg Wx::WHITE, Wx::BLUE are initialized by a call to
wxInitializeStockObjects in %init of Wx::App (see swig/App.i)

However, this means they are only available after an application is started. In
the old wxruby 0.6.0 they were available as soon as the wxruby library was
loaded, so presumably it can be done.

This is a problem because it means that code like this doesn''t work any
more:

class MyTextCtrl < Wx::TextCtrl
  DEFAULT_FOREGROUND_COLOUR = Wx::GREEN
  ...
end

b/c the ruby class is evaluated before the app is started.
