Summary: Asian MBCS

Initial Comment:
The Asian uses multi byte char string(MBCS).
Could you support MBCS ?


Now MinGW is:

 * Missing mbstring.h for the _mbs* functions;
   likely tchar.h or wchar.h

 * Missing the generic mapping in tchar.h:

   tcs* --> the _wcs*, _mbs* or str* functions

   <tchar.h> --> <wchar.h>, <mbstring.h>, ...

   The generic mapping is depending on 
   the _UNICODE or _MBCS macro.

 * Interpreting without using IsDBSCLeadByte,
   to read MBCS text wrong.
