I only ask because there exists a redistibutable dll from microsoft which allows for Unicode support on Win9X/ME. Any chance that this functionality might be included in Cygwin? I suppose the w32api people would have to transform the .lib file that comes in the SDK to a unixy library, but other then that, it should be possible. Then you could tell people who run on such platforms to go to the site and download the dll if they want the unicode support. Or better yet, since redistribution is allowed, have setup.exe install it on demand. I'm not too familiar with Unicode in general, so if your solution can be implimented on Win9X/ME w/o the extra MS Library, then forgive me for mentioning it. Otherwise, I hope you will explore this avenue.
