Is there a way to make Xerces define XMLCh as unsigned short on Windows ins=
tead of wchar_t?  It may be a minor point, but we have a UTF-16 string type=
 defined to use unsigned short, so it would also be nice to have Xerces usi=
ng unsigned short to avoid casts.  Since it can use unsigned short on some =
platforms, why not Windows?

I'd like to use wchar_t, but we need to be able to overload UTF-32 vs UTF-1=
6 string types and to do that, we need a 32-bit and 16-bit unsigned int typ=
e that is the same on all platforms.

On a different topic, will Xerces use unsigned short on all platforms for w=
hich sizeof(wchar_t) !=3D 2?

Thanks
