The "ToNewCString" version which took a wide string "in" and produced a 
narrow string "out" didn't have an identified character set, and so was 
removed at some point along the way. Assuming you want a UTF8 narrow 
string allocated, you'd need something like:

ToNewCString(NS_ConvertUTF16toUTF8(attributeName));
