FWIW, LuaPlus (http://luaplus.org) has wide string support.  It is 
probably similar to your patch, but the wide string functionality is 
built into the language itself.  It can even read UCS-2 .lua files.  Be 
sure to grab latest Subversion from 
svn://svn.luaplus.org/LuaPlus/work51.  Everything is #ifdef'ed.  Look 
for LUA_WIDESTRING and LUA_WIDESTRING_FILE.
