This is actually a problem with the unicode build of wxWidgets you seem 
to use on the Ubuntu system. My last changes should solve this problems. 
In the future I'll also test with unicode builds of wxWidgets. Alan, 
could you test the wxwidgets driver again?

I think for the moment this should be postponed until the next release. 
On either side we should make the Windows port of plplot more complete, 
e.g. make all the bindings (if possible) work, on the other side this 
sounds like a major task and a lot of work ;)

Also just for information, I also tested the pdl binding - I installed perl
and the pdl module, cmake had no problems during configuration, plplot 
compiles,
but there are no examples for testing? So maybe it works but I couldn't 
test it so far ;)

Another outstanding issue in my opinion is the documentation of the new 
CBS. There is the wiki right, but we should also update the 
documentation at least before a 5.8.0 release.

Regards,
Werner
