Wine has the unusual challenge that it supports to report different versions
for the applications involved in a DDE transaction.

In Windows there is no ambiguity as it transports ATOMs in a fixed way over
DDE:
- ANSI versions use the ANSI charset as raw data
- Unicode versions use UCS-2 (pre-Win2K) or UTF-16

Since the format is linked to the way Windows is compiled, on a given system
there can be only one format. It doesn't depend how DDE is initialized or if
the windows is Unicode or not, that conversion is handled locally.
