As Adrien already wrote, wchar support is broken ATM. Probably even the 
wchar_t type will change (or so I hope), before it becomes useful. I hope 
this isn't a show stopper for CLucene. It might be possible to disable wchar 
support via a configure option. Or maybe in the resulting config.h. If that's 
not possible, you could analyze to what degree wchar support is needed and, 
if it isn't that much, either work around or implement the required parts.

CU, Ingo
