Summary: Help re-use Font, Brush, Pen (similar to wxBrushList)

Initial Comment:
wxBrushList, wxPenList and wxFontList keep track of the relevant type of objects
that have been created, and allow the programmer to retrieve a
previously-created instance rather than creating a new one with the same
parameters. This is in the interests of speed and efficiency.

There is no point in porting these List classes directly to Ruby, but the
functionality could easily be emulated by memoizing calls to the Pen, Brush and
Font constructors. Using a hash keyed on the passed-in arguments would be a
simple way of doing this. Benchmark to see if it''s worth it.
