  * type:  bug => merge

Comment:

 Fixed.  This involves an addition to the Win32 package API, so strictly
 speaking we shouldn't merge, but I think this is one of those occasions
 where we could make an exception, since we're also fixing #1483 and #1649
 which are hurting some people.  Shout if you disagree.

 Patch to GHC:

 {{{
 Wed Nov 14 15:14:11 GMT 2007  Simon Marlow <simonmar at microsoft.com>
   * Fix #782, #1483, #1649: Unicode GHCi input
 }}}

 and to Win32:

 {{{
 Wed Nov 14 14:12:37 GMT 2007  Simon Marlow <simonmar at microsoft.com>
   * add stringToUnicode, and multiByteToWideChar
 }}}
