Unicode functions

[steve.lustbader at philips.com]

I think there is issue with _T(x).  I have this line in my Windows app
that I'm compiling with WineLib (I'm using -fshort-wchar):

const TCHAR *Name() const { return _T("my_name"); };

The compiler gives me an error of:

cannot convert `const __wchar_t *' to `const
TCHAR *' in return

It similarly complains about converting _T("foo") to a const WCHAR *.
Both of these things work under Windows.

Changing the definition of _T(x) from L##x to (TCHAR *) L##x avoids
these problems, but then something like _T("foo") _T("bar") doesn't
concatenate those strings like it does in Windows.

I'm fixing the build process to install the header.
For now you can copy it manually to the
/usr/local/include/wine directory.
Actually _ftprintf and _stprintf are not functions,
but macros which are mapped in tchar.h to
corresponding ASCII or Unicode function. The
underlying functions should be implemented.

Unicode is supported relatively well in Wine. Please
report if you have any issues with it.
