If you can attend triage, it's always appreciated to be able to explain in
person.

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Unicode support for WcaLog
I created ticket http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4207/. Let me know if there is
anything else needed for triage.

In 3.x I believe that you must retain the current method signatures (but you
could add new method signatures for the UTF-16 strings). You could, however,
reimplement them in terms of their wide-string counterparts (which use new
signatures). Remember that you also have to maintain "C" support, so the new
wide-string signatures have to have a different name.
In 4.x, I would say do the A/W suffix thing on all the entry points with the
usual define based on the compiler's string setting. You could do the same
thing for 3.x, except you would have to define the old names to always be
"ANSI" (to not break existing code).
Open a feature request and triage will give you the actual rules to follow (if
you wish to implement this for 3.x be sure to ask about A/W defaults).
