-** Switch the Windows port to using Unicode keyboard input (maybe).
-  Based on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633586.aspx,
-  this boils down to (1) calling RegisterClassW function to register
-  Emacs windows, and (2) modifying ALL system messages to use Unicode.
-  In particular, WM_CHAR messages, which result from keyboard input,
-  will then come in encoded in UTF-16.
-
-  One advantage of switching to Unicode is to toss encoded-kbd usage,
-  which will solve the problem with binding non-ASCII keys with modifiers.
-
-  Problem: using this on Windows 9x/ME requires installing the
-  Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU), which might not implement all
-  the required functionality that is available built-in on Windows XP
-  and later.  We should not make this change if it would pressure
