I've a pretty good idea what is wrong. It's related to your changes to
runtime.cs. Python on Windows is using UCS-2 (universal character set)
to store unicode internally while most Linux distributions are using
UCS-4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16/UCS-2

The dll import uses Charset.Unicode as a charset. My VS help claims that
Charset.Unicode is a 2 bytes Unicode char which let me believe it's UCS2.

I'll have to see how I can work around the issue. I may have to manually
convert between UCS-2 and UCS-4. :(
