Rootbeer is an old Win32 Unicode Joke.

Ah, I think I see.
I need to put all the 'rootbeer' Win32's that I use into the
intl-auto-encap-win32.c/.h, and then use the resulting qxe functions.
Less noxious would be to define a single qxeCheckWritable and use that, instead of having
to map several aclapi functions just to use them in one place.

Could someone point me at an example of the cliché for converting from an IByte* to
UTF-16 for transmission to the Win32 'W' API?
i'm not quite sure what you mean by "rootbeer". we try to reserve
the
qxe() prefix for wrapping actual library functions; don't get in the
habit of trying to define your own qxe routines and then calling the
unwrapped library functions -- it's a bad idea for a whole lotta reasons.
