Cygwin is using the wide char functions provided by newlib.  Newlib
(http://sources.redhat.com/newlib/) is still lacking a couple of
wide char functions so far, namely:

  fwprintf
  fwscanf
  swprintf
  swscanf
  vfwprintf
  vswprintf
  vwprintf
  wprintf
  wscanf
  wcstod
  wcstof
  wcstold
  wcsftime
  wcstok

wcstok has been contributed but isn't checked in so far.  As for all
the other functions, contributions to newlib are always welcome on the
newlib mailing list.
