Allow wxAny to contain 'const char*' or 'const wchar_t*'. This was previously not possible since these pointers were converted to wxString, as convenient means to work with string literals. Now pointers (to string literals) are stored instead, and As<wxString>(), comparison operators do the type conversion.
