Good idea. With a special section for WinCE in configure like we have
now it's easier.

Unicode works fine the way it is in WinCE?

Hmm, it seems this function is only available if MSLU is used. So in
the new patch I'll send in a while it'll just be plain disabled on
Win9x. It'll be left for lavf anyways, so users may link with MSLU and
still use Unicode in Win9x.
