Note that dllimport/dllexport decorations are not at all required on
Cygwin for quite some time.
Worse, this breaks building DLLs and DLL import libs using libtool.
On Cygwin --export-all-symbols is default. However, if just a single
symbol is decorated with dllexport, ld switches to exporting o

yet. This might be a nice project for somebody who wants to contribute
to Cygwin, since its implementation is mostly independent from the
already existing functionality.

's no reason to make it bigger. On UCS-2 and UTF-16
platforms sizeof(wint_t) == 4 because it must be able to hold EOF as
well. So, why not just use the wint_t type for the time being?

May I suggest a compromise? What about "xwchar_t"? It avoids the
potential typo by accidentally dropping the second w. It still contains
"wchar" which implies that it's a *wide* char type. And the x could be
read as "extended".

Ok. However, the other variation
#if defined _WIN32 || defined __WIN32__ || defined __CYGWIN__
should be only used in very rare circumstances. Usually it just means
that some unnecessary Windowism is used on Cygwin, and that there's
probably a POSIXy equivalent. If not, kick us here on the list and
we can discuss it.

You're welcome and thanks for this fruitful discussion. I'm glad if we
can find a well-working compromise for some of the problems, especially
in the unfortunate UTF-16 case.
