Re: gwlib/charset patch

I agree that this is the right solution. However, i don't think it is worth 
it for a simple compiler warning. If we start claterring the code with too 
many preprocessor options for each system, quickly the code will become 
unreadable.

My idea from the start was a simple straight thing. If it doesn't break 
other systems, implement it. Else forget it.
