I do agree that having "unicode" and possibly also "locale" and
dropping "mingw" from the prerequisite makes sense, especially in
the longer term.  Please make it so _after_ the dust settles.

I however suspect that NON_UNICODE_LOCALE does not read quite well;
isn't the trouble that mingw allows nothing but unicode strings on
the command line (there is no trouble for non unicode strings that
appear as payload)?

Oh by the way, can somebody remind me why we spell these as
NOT_MINGW,  instead of !MINGW?
