Getting a functional wstring would require, at least:

* implementing missing wide character I/O functions in newlib (like
wprintf)
* rebuilding libstdc++ so that it detects these functions and enables
wstring (which means rebuilding gcc)

So no, just upgrading the cygwin DLL won't change anything.
