Bug/Fix for egcs 1.1.1 STL wstring

BUG: STL wstring support broken in egcs 1.1.1 on RedHat Linux 5.2
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The STL wstring class is commented out in the <string> header file
thereby preventing its use. Since wstring is part of the ISO standard
STL this was a real showstopper for development. It turns out that
there were a few trivial bugs in a few supporting header files that
prevented programs from compiling that used wstring. 

The fixes effect three files:

	libstdc++/string
	libstdc++/std/straits.h
	libstdc++/std/bastring.h

ChangeLog entries and diff -cp follow.


libstdc++ ChangeLog
-------------------

Thu Jan 28 21:31:58 1999  Baron Roberts  <baron@sgi.com>

	* string: Uncomment wstring declaration

	* std/straits.h: Remove #if 0/#endif from around
	struct string_char_traits <wchar_t>.
	#include <wchar.h>.
	Add missing definition for wchar_t move method.
	Add empty() method for trait-based empty string return.

	* std/bastring.h (c_str): Change return of "" to return of
	traits::empty() call so that proper empty string is returned
	based on the character type (i.e. "" or L"").
