Yeah, I thought of that but then I grepped through newlib and there seemed
to be plenty of references to it.  Then I added:

namespace std {
typedef std::basic_string <wchar_t> wstring;
};

after the '#include <string>' above, fixed the typo to add a class name,
and things compiled fine for me.  So it seems to me like newlib is not 
the bottleneck for wide character support.  Or did I miss something?
