Will still fail for MinGW and Cygwin.
Exactly. If we decide to not support MinGW and Cygwin anymore then this is indeed the easiest solution. IIRC I already sent a patch that does exactly this some time ago. If we decide to support MinGW and Cygwin, then it will not work, since they don't have any wchar_t, not even a 16 bit one. Georg
