Well. I used isspace() in my gtkfilesel dnd patch, and owen said i should
use g_ascii_isspace(). It didn't exist, but seemed to make sense, so i
added it.

The man page says:
  isspace()
      checks for white-space characters.  In the "C" and "POSIX"
      locales, these are: space, form-feed ('\f'),  new­
      line ('\n'), carriage return ('\r'), horizontal tab ('\t'),
      and vertical tab ('\v').

I'm interpreting this as "may differ on other locales". But I don't know
if it actually does in any currently used locale.
