better support for international file names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Need better support for unicode in MTPAxe.  need to change all strings and
string related conversions to WCHAR instead of char probably.  VB uses
unicode by default (I think)

yes if i don't mess up .net should use unicode by default (utf-16 i guess)

MTPAxe r16 - changed all relevant variables and functions to their wide 
character
equivalents. For files already on the player, reading international characters 
in
file names and tags should work.  Uploading new files with multibyte characters 
won't
work due to stdin not (easily) supporting reading unicode.  There are 3 
solutions to this

1. continue to use standard input for transferring the filename/metadata from 
WMTP
but encode the multibyte string (base64?) and decode it in MTPAxe.

2. Use VirtualAllocEx to allocate memory in MTPAxe from WMTP and have WMTP 
write all
necessary data to this unmanaged block.  Need to do more research to see if 
this call
is allowed for non admin users.

3. set stdin to binary mode.  This option isn't so good since it breaks scanf.

Option #2 seems the best for now.

went with solution 2. it seems to work even under a limited user in Windows 
Vista.
