Is wchar_t still defined as a four-byte quantity in GCC? If so, is
there a document or archived mlist discussion somewhere documenting
why this is? I know that the spec says it is
"implementation-dependent", but every implementation I'm aware of does
it as a 2-byte wide character. This was a nasty PITA when porting some
SDK code during Solder of Fortune... does GCC support some locale that
demands four-byte wide characters?
