[Nat] I remembered seeing something about it not working with MSVC 7.1.
For some reason I can't find it in the Web archives, but my own Inbox
has that message from last November. Turns out it was from YOU, but I
didn't realize that when I saw your message earlier today. This is what
I was remembering:

Ok, I was playing with the compiler settings and figured it out.
Apparently, in order to use this, you *must* have wchar_t treated as a
built-in type setting on in VC7.1.  Ah ha.  Maybe there's a good spot to
document that.

Thanks for the assistance,

Lawrence
