---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
 range/as_literal.hpp declares overloads for length() and is_char_ptr(),
 which also includes overloads for (const) wchar_t*.

 This fails to compile on systems without wchar-Support.
 Also, you shouldn't rely on the presence of the system-header cwchar.
 There is a macro to test that.

 I attached a patch, which makes it at least work on my system. It's
 Linux/uclibc, where the header cwchar and and the type wchar_t are
 present, but non of the system functions concerning wchar_t are available.


 Kind regards, René
