+- Improve automatic compiling under solaris (proposed by curaga)
 - Add in IGUICheckBox: setDrawBackground, isDrawBackgroundEnabled, setDrawBorder, isDrawBorderEnabled
 - IGUISpinBox now passes on the EGET_BUTTON_CLICKED, EGET_EDITBOX_CHANGED and EGET_EDITBOX_ENTER events from it's sub-elements.
 - IGUISpinBox no longer validates values after each character type but only on KEY_ENTER and when losing focus. New behavior can be set with IGUISpinBox::setValidateOn
