Summary: wxLocale causing problems with wxConfig

Initial Comment:
When the application locale is set to something other than 'C' which may interpret numbers differently, it causes problems with wxConfig and possible other areas of the library (and even user code).

With wxConfig, the problem is caused when working with Read/Write using a double value.  Since these use the library functions they expect it to be in the locale format.  Saving settings in one locale and then loading the same settings with a different locale value can cause it to break.

My current fix is to just write my own half-working functions to read/write doubles in text format using '.' instead of a locale-specific period.
