 A better way would be to use UTF-8 and then decode the string at run-time.
But in this particular case I don't think this is the right way to do what
this function does at all, it would be better to just use wxIsaslnum()
which should also work for Unicode characters unlike the current method
(and even though I don't know how good is Unicode support in practice, it
should definitely work just fine for ASCII).
