The RXP library can be compiled in 8bit or 16bit mode.
The 0.9 release of pyRXP built the RXP library in 8 bit mode,
and the Python glue was 8 bit only. Building RXP in 16bit mode
with the 8bit-only glue, unsurprisingly, caused everything to
fail miserably.

The patch I submitted (integrated sometime around 0.96 I think
- - no official release) involved updating the glue so that Python
could happily get Unicode objects from RXP's 16bit representation
(RXP works internally in UTF16), and a disgusting hack to setup.py
so that it would build both the 8bit and Unicode versions of the
library and wrapper from the same source.
