winefile: UNICODE

No, I don't need tchar.h in 'unixcalls.c'. I only needed it for 'winefile.c'. The problem is, if I add 'include/msvcrt' to the include path, it is added to both files at the same time.

I can't find a replacement for wcsrchr() in the windows API, so I have to include my own implementation in the source. There is also no equivalent of towupper(), so I have to change the pattern matching function a bit.

I thought it is not allowed to use the "-fshort-wchar" option in Wine because not all compilers support it? If it is - using which macro should one add it to Makefile.in? Anyways - I don't need it, because there are no more literal wide string character constants.

Thanks,
