#274 wrap cvsgui_protocol into a DLL/Shared Object

[Oliver Giesen]

It'd be nice if the cvsgui_protocol was available to
non-C++ languages as well.
A simple DLL or SO wrapper exporting the functions from
cvsgui_process.h should do as a starter AFAICT. Later
on a COM-server or something similar that doesn't
require language-specific headers might be nice as well.

I agree with this for differnt(and delicate) reason.
I am aware of multi-byte cultural sphere specific problem
of CreateProcess on WinNT/2k/XP, so we want to fix it
for the purpose of localization by simply replacing
cvsgui_protocol "DLL".

# When we converts Shift-JIS text(e.g. cvs admin -m)
# to EUC text(for sending UNIX server), on Win2k, CVS
# client side gets broken text, it seems because NT
# internal UNICODE<->ANSI conversion processing
# confuse. (Yes. Unfotunately, using UNICODE is not
# helpful yet at all, in Japan.)

The reason for us makes no sence for you, and don't
care. But it'd be nice having the easy way to override
protocol for some reason.
