Are we assuming that wchar_t represents a Unicode character?
If so, it may not be too difficult to generate the necessary
look-up tables from the data files at unicode.org.  But the
table for the isw*() functions would be 64K, and the tables
for towlower() and towupper() would be 128K each, so it would
increase the size of libc.a by over 50%.  (Maybe it's possible
to do better than that, but it's still going to be very large.)
