It is not clear to me if I can backport this to the 4.2 branch.  It
isn't technically a regression since we never supported wide strings
before so I am not clear if it is OK to put it on the 4.2 branch at this
time and I wouldn't want to put it in 4.1 or 4.0 without putting in 4.2.

You're definitely right that we want monotonic progress. It's OK to backport this patch to 4.2, if you like, since it applies only to the HP-UX configuration.

Thank you for asking,
