wxString::Lower for any language

[Riccardo Cohen]

just a little word to say what I've done. I downloaded the full unicode 
table from http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt, wrote 
a little program to process what I want (in particular get non 
diacritics or lowercase for each char) and integrated this in my program.

This is not very difficult and works for all languages and all 
plateform, and more : I feel I understand something at last !
