Now I know that this exposes my ignorance but nonetheless...

'switching to unicode' means reading in, writing out and storing a LyX 
buffer as a wstring rather than a string, right? This wstring can then be 
handed over to Qt and it will 'do the right thing'? None of that toqstr, 
fromqstr stuff? I guess therefore that we will need converters from wchar_t 
to/from c-strings for xforms then.

Am I on the right track?
