So then there is already a "conversion" going on. From ANSI api to
UTF16 api.  I still think (and will try and put together some
benchmark app over the weekend) that the conversion from
UTF8->UTF16->API call is going to be so small that it's hardly
something to talk about. Especially with todays CPU's.
