There was a bug in the handling of non-ASCII chars in multibyte "command
strings".  I.e. binding "λ" to a key didn't work.  Now it does.
But even before my fix, it worked to simply use a vector instead of
a string.  See patch below.

BTW, with my recent changes, all the chars that can be encoded in the user's
locale will be displayed "correctly" (tho only if the fonts cooperate) with
both the Lucid and Motif menus.  E.g. in a utf-8 locale, it should work
about as well as with gtk.
