jean-pierre charras df4226f896 Settings management: try to fix full filename issues when using non ASCII7 chars.
The fix convert all std::string storing a path to wxString (unicode support)
wxString were already used at many place to store paths, but not all.
For internal calculations mixing char strings and wide char strings is a recipe
for bug: any missing conversion between UTF8 and wxString breaks paths.
