[appwizard] Project name

[Bernd Pol]

Hi Dominik,

I think we should stick to ASCII letter/number/underline restricted 
project names as long as they are the basis for class names etc.
They are easily handled (and easily explained to the "novice" user by 
the way).
I have experimented over decades with all kinds of names which are 
allowed to contain spaces, special characters, Umlauts and the like. It 
is not worth the value, I am convinced now.
