[pypy-issue] [issue1155] windows creates 2 bytes unicode dtype numpy arrays, not 4 byte

[mattip]

New submission from mattip <matti.picus at gmail.com>:

The test AppTestStrUnicodeDtypes.().test_unicode_dtype on windows fails. 
Am I correct in that unicode strings are 2 byte per character on windows? 
cpython numpy has a comment in the code /* Numpy Unicode is always 4-byte */ so 
the test is correct, windows somehow needs to create 4 byte dtypes.
I'm willing to fix but need a push in the right direction
