Being a developer myself I can understand this reason, but in the PG
context I'm a User I not having Unicode support is my eyes a very big
deficiency which gives the whole Win32 a semi-professional "touch".

Unicode is something very important and I do hope this will be solved in on
of the next releases.

P.S.: don't get me wrong: the Win32 is *very* much appreciated.
