win32 Unicode support

I thought I'd spend some time looking at the win32 port, since the
CJK support there is rather behind the Linux version. As such I've been
looking into:

In short, the labels in pop-up message are getting corrupted. The
cause is that because abi is inconsistent internally about what encoding
it's using for such strings, we end up trying to display something which
is a mix of GB2312 and UTF-8.

I think this touches on a discussion initiated by Tomas on the mailing
list in January:

http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/2005/Jan/0305.html

However, since the discussion did not seem to concretely resolve itself,
I'm not sure how to proceed in addressing this issue. If someone who
knows about this (probably Tomas?) could take a look at #9655 and answer
my various questions I would be grateful.

Best wishes,

R.
