End-users don't have to worry about it at all. They will just use W functions all the time and unicows will trigger and translate UTF16 strings into ANSI strings automatically on those operating systems. The change would be transparent for them. There is also a redistributable version of unicows, so those users who want to deploy their software on Win9x could use it and don't force manual install of the .dll.
The current Phobos works fine with Win9x and does not require the user to find or install another dll. Even worse, the users have to have *their* users get and successfully install that dll. I see absolutely no advantage to requiring an extra dll.
