My response can be seen as an addition to Paul's. As far as I am concerned, the dDisableWindowsUnicodeSupport does not need to be removed. OTOH working with -dDisableWindowsUnicodeSupport has no priority for me. If the Lazarus community does the testing and supplies patches, I don't mind committing them (much like I said about the fixes_0_9_26 branch, no effort form me, but willing to support the efforts of others). I am willing to accept bug reports, if it turns out that a regression was caused by on of my commits, i.e. it worked before with DisableWindowsUnicodeSupport, and after it didn't. Having said that, I fear that some incompatibilities remain, because the LCL (not the win32 interface) insert conversion to UTF8 when using RTL functions in for example the TFileListBox. Finding a solution for such issue is not a priority for me, but patches will be reviewed and accepted if ok.
