The code change in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/127801, coupled with the recent change to turn on 8-bit character use everywhere caused the Windows build to break. Windows API only accepts 16-bit Unicode strings for certain operations. The 8-bit strings being passed around inside WebKit need to be converted to 16-bit when calling these APIs.
