BTW, this subject (wide and multibyte character functions in cygwin) 
just came up on the XEmacs-nt list.  Ben Wing is trying to get "MULE" 
support for XEmacs to work on cygwin (MULE is some sort of 
character-coding, wide-char, unicode thingy...)

Anyway, check the xemacs-nt mailing list if you're interested: 
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-nt/

(Also, you may see references to a possible (new) bug in sscanf -- I 
haven't had time to track that one down, and forgot to mention it.  I'll 
put that in its own thread)

(Chris hates these taglines, but here goes:
Just a datapoint.

Hmm...the message I was referring to doesn't seem to have made it into 
the xemacs-nt archives.  Well, here it is from my local copy:
