Fails to convert process name to wxString

[Eran Ifrah]

First let me open with the fact that I managed to find the bug and fix it.

Creating a minimal sample that can reproduce the problem was not helpful as
I expected, since the problem occurred there as well.
I did however used you advise, and went back to basics:
If all is Unicode (wx & my code) then the only function which I did not
check was the WinAPI function, and there lied the problem, let me explain:
In my code I loaded the functions by using LoadLibrary(), this code was
taken from a legacy code, reading this code, reveals a sad fact:  it used
LoadLibraryA ! so all my functions pointers (pfnFirstProcess,
pfnNextProcess) were using the ASCII version of the WinAPI.

Removing the LoadLibrary call and using the functions directly (and thus
letting the compiler do its #ifdef UNICODE thing and appending the 'W")
solved the problem.

Thanks for your useful tips.

Btw, I would like to contribute 2 function to wxWidgets, something like:
wxGetProcessList() - which returns an array of pairs of image name & process
ID (I can implement and test it on Linux/Windows) AND
wxGetProcessName(long pid) - which returns the process name by its PID
(returns the full path of the executable which created the process where
possible, unlike the former function which only return it name & ID)

I dont know if they will be accepted, since I don't have an access to Mac
machine (so I cant really implement it for Mac), or maybe they are not as
useful as I think they are, let me know what do you think.
