RE: libldap/libldap_r UTF Compilation Warning (ITS#2955)

[hyc@highlandsun.com]

Apparently a wide character (wchar_t) on Windows is a 16 bit unsigned
integer, while on most Unix systems it's a 32 bit signed integer. This issue
has been ignored so far because these functions are not actually used by
anything else in the OpenLDAP code base. If you need them to work, you're
welcome to submit a patch.
