Yes, TextAutoSelect is a macro, because without using a macro, there is
no way to generate a wchar_t string literal (prefixed with L) from a
char string literal at compile time.  The macro also hides a bit of
template code which is used for type detection purposes.  I have
uploaded the code to:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/TextSelector.hpp

It's directly copied from the project it's residing in, so please don't
pay any attention to the namespace naming conventions.  I have
successfully compiled this code using VC++ 7.1, Intel C++ 7.1, gcc
2.95.3-6 (mingw32) on Windows, and gcc 3.20 on Linux.

Let me know what you think.
