Yes, it is, and I think it should be deprecated as soon as ANSI build 
is removed for good.

If you're constructing a wxString from UTF-8 data, then use 
wxString::FromUTF8(). Or use wxString(char*,wxCSConv) constructor, 
which will recognize UTF-8 wxCSConv instances too and optimize the 
conversion out. (The latter doesn't work in ANSI build, but FromUTF8 
does.)

I thought we do, I certainly very much want to. The trunk is Unicode 
by default for months now and it went smoother than I expected.
