           Summary: [EasyHack] Consistently call Unicode Win32 functions,
                    and define UNICODE globally
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows (All)
          Reporter: mstahl@redhat.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
         Component: Libreoffice
           Product: LibreOffice

currently there are lots of places where manually macros
UNICODE and _UNICODE are defined:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/02/12/71851.aspx

git grep DUNICODE
git grep D_UNICODE

we should rather define that globally in solenv/gbuild/com_MSC_defs.mk.

also there is no point to ever calling the archaic so-called "ANSI"
Win32 functions (end in *A); probably it's best to call the
UCS-2 Unicode ones directly (end in *W).

corresponding string literals can be written as L"foo"

maybe once every function call is directly to a *W function
the UNICODE _UNICODE can be removed altogether, but as a first
step it's probably best to define that globally.
