Sorry folks, I have forgotten to tell you to compile it with the _UNICODE
and UNICODE defined. Here is a corrected  version that has some problems
when compiled:

------  Cut Here  ------  Cut Here  ------  Cut Here  ------  Cut Here  ------
 #define __DIR "dir"

 #include <stddef.h>
 #include <tchar.h>
 main() {
 	size_t len = wcslen(_T(__DIR)) + wcslen(_T("dir"));
 	size_t len = wcslen(_TEXT(__DIR)) + wcslen(_TEXT("dir"));
	exit(len);
 }
------  Cut Here  ------  Cut Here  ------  Cut Here  ------  Cut Here  ------

You will see that the problem is around the evaluation of the __DIR macro
(there is no problem with "dir"), both for _TEXT and _T. In addition, this
should be fixed also for the _T and _TEXT definitions in <winnt.h>, which
should be coherent with those in <tchar.h> (They are not for now, as _T is
defined either as an object-like macro (in <winnt.h>) or as a function-like
macro (in <tchar.h>)).

If you want me to provide you with a patch (and a ChangeLog), let me know...

Best regards,
-Eric
