I've looked into this some more, and at least on the td176 HP testdrive 
machine with gcc-4.1.0 wide character support in the std library is *not* 
enabled :-(

You can include <cwchar> but it doesn't import anything into namespace std, 
and there's also no std::wstring in <string> etc :-(

So... I've changed the HPUX config not to unconditionally disable wide 
character support for gcc, but none the less, it will be disabled by 
booct/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp since neither _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T nor 
_GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T are defined by gcc's std lib.
