I think this might be a good idea. If you add an ifdef...endif check to
include wstring only if it is present, and define a macro called
WSTRING, and replace all occurrences of wstring with this macro, then
we'd have a way of compiling it under Linux as well as Windows,
assuming there are no other issues with MinGW.

The open source edition of QT on Windows works only with MinGW. This is
from Trolltech's website:
"Note: keep in mind that the open source edition of Qt is MinGW-only."
Unfortunately, this means that those who want to compile Quackle
themselves on Windows (and can't afford a QT licence) are in a
difficult position.
Eventually though, it might be useful if you can get a friend who has a
licenced version of QT to compile your code for you to distribute.
