Yeah, it can certainly make a mess of code having every string in a macro.

So this conversion program, where would I find such a thing ?

Is this something run over the Lua sources that replaces char * / strings with
other types / prefixes ?

The application is already 100% unicode internally (UTF16), using IBM's excellent
(and free) ICU library so I don't need to (and can't) convert that.

Thanks!
