basically changes the compiler interpretation of wchar_t from unsigned 
short to a native wchar_t.  Everything go fine until you link to unicode 
functions. Since it's a global compile setting, your application cannot 
mix and match libraries compiled with different setting : it will give 
you link errors.

it confirms Boost is right. For testing purposes, I added the switch to 
current release.

Am I right to say that as long as one does not use Unicode together with 
CORBA one does not has to care as all omniORB interfaces will be with 
char anyway ... ?
