Have you taken steps toward making Unicode-enabled Lua implementations?
(I.e. have references to char* et al been replaced with typedefs permitting
global replacement with wchar*, etc.?)

I'd really like to use Lua as an embedded "glue" language for Windows CE
devices, but the prospect of inspecting every line of unfamiliar code for
Unicode support just gives me the shivers!  :-)
