Vadim Zeitlin 47d67540a0 USE_xxx constants renamed to wxUSE_xxx. This is an incompatible change, you
must recompile everything after upgrading!

* TODO: in order to replace wxPropertyValue, we would need
* to consider adding constructors that take pointers to C++ variables,
* or removing that functionality from the wxProperty library.
* Essentially wxPropertyValue takes on some of the wxValidator functionality
* by storing pointers and not just actual values, allowing update of C++ data
* to be handled automatically. Perhaps there's another way of doing this without
* overloading wxVariant with unnecessary functionality.
