Sorry, I wasn't specific in my reply.  'wchar_t' is referenced in newlib.  
'wstring' is only defined (typedef) in '/usr/include/g++-3/string' but it 
is commented out.  Like I said though, if you uncomment it (or put the same
definition in the code), everything compiles/links fine.  So, on the face 
of it, it would appear that using 'wstring', 'wchar_t', and, presumably,
wide-character functions are possible with Cygwin.  Am I missing something?
