Great! Formally unicows should appear prior whatever it is supposed to
override. For example is doesn't have to appear prior -lcrypto or -lssl,
because they don't export any symbols unicows can override. Having it
absolutely first is simply best practice.

Looks fine.

No dependency on unicows.dll is expected. unicows.lib (or libunicows.a)
is not an "import" library for unicows.dll. It contains actual object
modules which explicitly load unicows.dll with LoadLibrary.

I don't quite understand what happens if you do *not* uncomment and do
*not* link with unicows? As mentioned I'm not comfortable with removing
the above mentioned if clause, I'd rather adjust it. The fact that it
works is proof enough that it's actually MultiByteToWideChar that
returned 1004 and not wfopen. So could you test
else if ((ret=GetLastError())==ERROR_NO_UNICODE_TRANSLATION
|| ret==ERROR_INVALID_FLAGS)
You'd have to add 'DWORD ret;' declaration after #ifdef _WIN32 in the
beginning of function. A.
