#11481: Samples fail to compile with Sun's compiler

Samples fail to compile because _T is not defined when using Sun
Microsystems's C++ compiler.

{{{
"../../../samples/minimal/minimal.cpp", line 128: Error: The function "_T"
must have a prototype.
"../../../samples/minimal/minimal.cpp", line 157: Error: The function "_T"
must have a prototype.
...
}}}

I propose replacing "_T(" -> "wxT(" in the samples. (And I object to
#defining _T in some wx header to fix this.)

Comment:

Personally I'd prefer to do exactly this, of course, i.e. define `_T` as
`wxT` when building the samples because this is the least intrusive fix
and none of our samples use STL headers which define `_T` under Solaris.

Comment:

I don't think it's worth keeping this one opened, I don't think anybody is
going to do this for 2.8.
