I still would prefer if the default was wchar_t if available, so I'd
get a wide Python from distributors as default. As it stands, most
distributors will ship a narrow Python 2.2, since they are unlikely to
change the default settings.
Since I like the overall design of this patch very much, I'm not going
to start long discussions on the detail of some default setting.
