I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 99.9(9)% sure, but only because I
didn't take the trouble to confirm it myself. Why wouldn't it? Given
that 2-byte WCHAR is what Windows NT uses internally to store and handle
strings, and hence what is passed back and forth between Cygwin and
the NT and Win32 APIs Cygwin uses to do its business, switching away
from 2-byte wchar_t on Cygwin doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.
