Help Keyboard Issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The help keyboard was just re-enabled, and there's a few problems:
  1) Typing "ko" as u-d-k works, but u-k-d (which should be acceptable) is converted wrongly ---there's a hyphen after the 'd'. This is probably a result of having TWO conversions; it worked fine in 1.7.
  2) Typing an unknown word and then trying to type _anything_ else (numbers, known words, other "help keyboard" words) will cause the program to appear to ignore all input.
  3) Type any complex word (e.g., pat-sint) and then hit "F1". The sentence string is forwarded, but the encoding is wrong (this was expected; just not sure how to fix it).

These are the main problems at the moment. Other minor problems were fixed with 
only SVN comments.

3) Fixed. Just passed through a function pointer for "getting an encoding" 
which made things pretty easy.

The problem is in waitzar::renderAsZawgyi(). This function could do for some 
cleanup (i.e., "it's still a potential source of pointer errors"), but I'm 
disinclined to thoroughly rework it right now, since I'd rather get at least a 
demo out before potentially breaking encodings.

1) Fixed. I'd forgotten to call sortMyanmarString() in the Uni2Zg conversion 
function. We should probably unify these functions at some point; I don't think 
one is ever called without the other.

Actually, perhaps both should go inside Uni2Zg instead of wz_utils? Well, 
anyway....

2) Fixed. Amazingly related to 1, in that calling sortMyanmarString() on 
unknown sequences would append a '\0' to them, causing untold havoc when that 
string was eventually converted to a wchar_t[]. 

All fixed, closing this issue. That should be _most_ of the Help Keyboard 
related bugs.
