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.

This issue does not affect Linux or Mac users, but is unsolvable on
Windows aside from that hacky fix (which is a pain to set up and
can corrupt the database if I recall right).
