Summary: v214 breaks modules autogenerated with v212's EnsureDispatch

Initial Comment:
The additional unicode support added in revision 3.18 breaks modules generated with previous versions of pywin32. This happens in Python 2.6.

When running a previously generated module the following assert breaks previously generated modules that set UnicodeToString=0: -

assert UnicodeToString is None, "this is deprecated and will go away"

The revision that makes this change can be found here: -

http://pywin32.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywin32/pywin32/com/win32com/client/__init__.py?r1=1.37&r2=1.38&pathrev=HEAD

A workaround is to remove autogenerated files under 

C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\
