Rationale: FromAscii should only be used on old-style DOS/ANSI character strings that use the upper 128 characters for drawing pictures or writing umlauts, which is pretty much nothing at all as far as PCSX2 is concerned. Chances are even the japanese console logs coming from the PS2 itself use UTF8.

* Added more colors!
* VM's EE/IOP logs (the ones that come from the emulated games themselves) are colored accordingly: EE are faint cyan, IOP are faint yellow. They're intentionally "hard to read" because 99% of the time they're meaningless trivia (but still cool since it's what the actual devs would have used for developing the games!).
Dev Notes:
* Removed Console.Status (specify blue/green colors manually if you want them).
* Renamed Console.Notice to Console.Warning.
* I changed the overloads so that both char* and wxChar* versions work like printf now (no need to use wxsFormat when working with unicode strings). I also removed wxString& versions of the overloads. This should (I hope) also be an easier port to wx2.9 or 3.0, when that time comes.
* Default log color is now black instead of gray; typically you'll want to manually specify Color_Gray when doing high volume logging (like the EErec's block tracking in debug builds).

(also includes some header file prepwork for my next wxWidgets windows.h commit fix)

* Removed some unused sealed class container mess that liked to cause compilation errors on GCC 4.2
* Added a macro for efficient invocation of static recompiled code buffers.

* Exception/Signal handling now uses an EventSource, so that multiple handlers can be registered. This is in preparation for (eventual) more complete MIPS TLB support in the VTLB memory model.
* Improved code isolation, so that recompiler-specific code is primarily in iR5900-32.cpp (cleans up Counters.cpp and SysCoreThread.cpp)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2063 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added -fno-strict-aliasing to the ever growing list of gcc optimizations that can potentially cause perfectly good C code to generate entirely broken results.
* Removed the preferred-stack=2, since this branch *should* run fine without it now.
* Have Release builds in Linux SIGKILL when encountering an unexpected SIGSEGV.
* Fixed some deadlock issues with the new console logger (it introduced cancel points, which is a good thing! unless you're the EE recompiler and you swallow up any attempt by GCC to cancel a thread)
* Compilation error fixes.

* Added timeBeginPeriod() to improve the Win32 kernel scheduler resolution (improves sleep accuracy and thread responsiveness)
* hackfixed some code that made exiting pcsx2 "slow" sometimes.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2041 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented setjmp/longjmp method of escaping recompiled code, circumventing the deadly pitfalls of the g++ exception mess.
* Use longjmp to jump to a "safe" location (outside recompiled code) for suspending and canceling the SysCoreThread (see StateThreadCheck_LongJmp)
* I'm the stack daddy mack. That's right. Uh huh. Uh huh.
* Test for m_detached in PersistentThread::IsSelf, since Linux likes to recycle thread handles in a hurry (like, as in, consecutively)
* Fix a deadlock in the Consoole Log (seems to be GTK+ specific, and in fact I'm pretty sure wxApp->Yield() isn't thread safe and thinks it's recursive even when it's not)

Done:
* EEcore aligns stack on entry and performs routine checks of ESP and EBP integrity.
* Dispatchers are recoded using the PCSX2 Emitter.
Todo:
* Convert all C-code function calls from the recompiler to use the new aligned stack setup.
* Implement stack-alignment checks and emitter-based dispatchers for the IOP.

* Added TimedLock to MutexLock
* Use MutexLock::TimedLock as a replacement for some sloppy semaphore use in SysCoreThread and PersistentThread.
* Minor fixes to thread cleanup when exiting the App
* Added some extra deadlock protection to the blocking Wait and Lock functions for Mutexes and Semaphores.
* Moved MutexLock and Semaphore implementations into their own files.

* Fixed and added better Emulation/System menu updating. Suspend/Resume is more consistent, and Reset grays itself out after being used.
* Entering plugin configurations auto-suspends the emulator.
* Changing plugins in the Configuration PAnel takes effect now without a restart.
* Added preliminary support for an ExtensibleConfirmation Dialog box (contains a sizer you can add content to, and also has an optional "[x] Do not show this again" checkbox).
Bugfixes:
* Added some mutex protection to cdvdNewDiskCB; "just in case."
* Resolved several recursion and deadlock scenarios when (very!) rapidly suspending, resuming, and resetting the emu.
Developments / Code Cleanups:
* Renamed SysCoreThread ExecutionModes: Suspend/Resume are now Opened/Closed (which more accurately reflects the fact they opena nd close the plugins, and helps avoid ambiguity with the "Paused" state).
* Added Exception::ThreadTimedOut, which is now thrown from Semaphore::Wait when recursive wxApp::Yield() calls are detected, and a deadlock occurs (basically cancels the current action which, most of the time, allows for full recovery).
* Major Threading namespace cleanups, documentations, etc.
* Removed wxScopedArray (scopedarray.h) and replaced it with a better implemeneted ScopedArray class.
* Removed toUTF8 class, which I only added a couple weeks ago because I didn't realize wxCharBuffer had an implicit typecast to (char*).
* Implemented more Source/Listener events for Pcsx2App. CoreThread events are sourced properly now, and added SettingsApplied and SettingsLoadSave Sources.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2010 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Removed EBP push/pop stuff from the recExecute of the R5900 and R3000A both (not needed anymore since we disabled EBP in iCore).
* Moved the legacy j8ptr and j32ptr buffers to iCore, since they'll go obsolete at the same time iCore does; and nothing outside PCSX2 references them.

Fixed: More savestate slowness, and less savestate memory hogging.
SPU2-X: Fixed crash bug on using savestates while suspended.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1994 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Switched the SysCoreThread to a static (fully persistent) thread.
* Added some listeners for when the CoreThread status changes
* fixed some slowness in savestates, and the emu will now stall until savestates complete, if you try to exit too quick (avoids savestate corruption)
