FYI, all the win32 extensions use their own Unicode API.  These extensions
had Unicode before Python did!  These wrapper functions are abstract enough
that they should be able to withstand any changes to Python's Unicode
implementation quite simply - probably at the cost of extra copies and
transformations in those wrappers.

Mark.
