So how do I implement these changes on my PC? I
am a noob when it comes to
MediaWiki and PHP, so simple step-by-step instructions would be much
appreciated.

It doesn't look too hacky to me, and it was rebased just a few months
ago. Considering who the author is, it probably works. Note that
img_auth.php needs to be used. There is an article about img_auth.php
here:

On Bugzilla there are a lot of suggestions to use iconv() to convert
to some random 8-bit character set, which doesn't seem like a great
idea to me.
I find it somewhat ironic that it's necessary to encode to ASCII on
Windows, given that the Windows has been natively UCS-2/UTF-16 since
the introduction of the Win32 API, whereas Linux has never had proper
character set support.
