Since I happen to be developing the second Unix platform based on Windows 
NT (ignoring Softway's OpenNT - now Microsoft Interix - of course), and 
since newlib will become the core of a C runtime, sitting directly on the 
Windows NT native API, on which not only my Unix platform and other 
components of the React Operating System (<http://www.reactos.com/>) - 
including a native port of the Mono platform - but also future developement 
kits such as MingWNT, ReactOS-DDK and ReactOS-SSDK will be based, I insist 
for wchar_t's constraints to be configurable parameters

(not that this really matters. If my proposal isn't accepted now, you're 
going to hear from us again anyway)
