IMO, with the existing macros it is not possible to handle a native wchar_t in
VC 6 and that's why I suggested to drop it at all. Anyway, though I've opened
a feature request for an additional intel specific macro, in the meantime I'm
not really sure whether this would pay off just for 6.0 (I must admit I really
don't at the moment if the native wchar_t type was introduced by 7.0 or 7.1
and if there are similar problems with 7.0 therefore).
