To close this discussion, I'd like to point out that in the worst case
there's much more to it. You can take a look into wchar.h to get a
glimpse of what you'd need to reimplement for every supported encoding
in order to get a widely usable solution. The copy&paste method may
have similar disadvantages, as from my experience these library
implementations tend to have many and widespread backstage
dependencies to other library facilities due to the DRY principle gone
perfect...
