Converting a C string to wxString

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

Generally you only need the current convertor unless you know yourself
you need utf8/7/16/other convertor. It's up to you to know what you
pass as the convertor. If you're complete program is using UTF8 (you
mentioned gtk right) then i'd say, just use the UTF8 convertor
(wxConvUTF8).


Hope this helps
