I would prefer this too since it's easier to see what your currently
selected options are and it might be possible in the future as the three
main Widgets platforms (MSW, MAC, and GTK) all support placing more controls
on the dialog.

But, for now, I wanted to keep it simple...coding-wise.  The reason is that
anything more extensive would make it a LOT more dependent on the internal
workings of wxWidgets.

As it is, I had to copy the wxFileDialog code for each platform and modify
it to add the button.  Overriding wxFileDialog methods could have been done,
but the ones that weren't overridden might not be the same from version to
version and they might not work with the overriding code.

The actual code to add the button is very platform specific and there is no
way to do it using standard wxWidgets classes/interfaces.
