> Â I'm trying to compile my project in MS Visual Studio 2008 with UNICODE and _UNICODE symbols defined. This automatically makes std::string resolve to std::wstring.

Neither UNICODE nor _UNICODE make std::string to be std::wstring.
These are defined as follows:

typedef basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, allocator<char> > string;
typedef basic_string<wchar_t, char_traits<wchar_t>, allocator<wchar_t>
> wstring;

Probably you've got some #define in your own code.
