Another NSApplication.m Patch

[David Relson]

Greetings,

While reading -[NSApplication terminate:], I noticed the "Enclose ... 
autorelease" comment and following block of code.  Since the purpose of the 
block is to delete the global instance of NSApplication, I thought it might 
be better to define a class method that would complement +[NSApplication 
sharedApplication].  Below is a patch to create +[NSApplication 
sharedApplication].
