Its that 8 bit build of wxWidgets that you are using on OSX, isn't it? 

Shame on the wx folks for including a constructor in one wxString build mode
but not in another for wxString( const char* ).  Actually had it been there
for both modes, life would have been more understandable using wxWidgets for
the last 5 years.

I'll fix it.

But realize it is actually the fault of the wxWidgets folks IMO.  They
should have just used a canned string class from the get go.
