wxPyColourChooser widget now available

Hi all. I've finally been able to make my pure python colour chooser
implementation available. Robin has expressed interest in it, so
hopefully it'll be appearing in a wxPython near you [ check local
listings ].

Q: Why a pure python colour chooser? Isn't the native good enough?
   might also want to have the same colour chooser look across
   platforms. But most importantly, this colour chooser can be
   embedded inside another widget, whereas the native one can't.

Q: Won't the drawing be slow?
algorithm in the code (reverse engineering from looking at the MS
colour chooser) and embedded the XPM in the file. Only the colour
bar is generated at runtime.

Q: Ok, I'm sold. Where do I get it?
   It's in CVS. I'll be doing a release after some feedback and to
   make sure I didn't forget something.

Q: But I just wanna try it out...
      cd <root directory>/wxPyColourChooser
      python pycolourchooser.py

  So, please give me some feedback on the widget. Robin, please also
take a look and let me know if I've met coding standards. A demo
module is also in CVS although untested.
