+** Switch the Windows port to using Unicode keyboard input (maybe).
+  Based on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633586.aspx,
+  this boils down to (1) calling RegisterClassW function to register
+  Emacs windows, and (2) modifying ALL system messages to use Unicode.
+  In particular, WM_CHAR messages, which result from keyboard input,
+  will then come in encoded in UTF-16.
+
+  One advantage of switching to Unicode is to toss encoded-kbd usage,
+  which will solve the problem with binding non-ASCII keys with
+  modifiers.
+
+  Problem: using this on Windows 9x/ME requires installing the
+  Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU), which might not implement all
+  the required functionality that is available built-in on Windows XP
+  and later.  We should not make this change if it would pressure
+  users of unauthorized copies of older versions of Windows to
+  downgrade to versions that require activation.
