cygwin has changed it already by defining wchar_t as 16-bit. My fix only 
reverts this.

> The fix for your bug is easy enough
It's just not a fix because it narrows the parameter to 16 bits and thus 
breaks current wcwidth functionality.

Because it's not wrong but the right thing to do as I had explained before.
