Hrm. You might be right. I was thinking that would be correct though.
AFAICT from reading the c++ standard, it doesn't care about the size of
wchar_t as long as it is large enough to hold the values from the
supported locales.
Perhaps some c++ expert could help with this a bit? Benjamin is there a
problem if wchar_t becomes 64-bits?
