I looked into switching svchost to ansi since there is no unicode
version of GetProcAddress (used within svchost).  I ended up asking on
winehackers if there is a preference between unicode and ansi, but
guessed that it didn't much matter since there was no strong response
either way.  Rather than juggle ansi and unicode strings, I bumped
svchost over to ansi.

Good to know that unicode is the way to go.  I'll send a unicode
version of the patch out in a few minutes.  I'll also see what I can
do about breaking up the patch set for future resubmissions.
