Not quite. We'd use the wcscoll() function. strcoll() does not work with
what windows calls "wide characters", which is UTF16, only with
"multibyte characters". The whole point of the fix is to be able to use
wcscoll() instead.
Also, not AFAIK, not only strcoll(), but also whatever is used to
generate UPPER() and LOWER() needs to be fixed. Possibly more?
