Summary: No _TCHAR type is defined

Initial Comment:
Type _TCHAR is not defined in cygwin tchar.h header,
only TCHAR type. According to Microsoft documentation
type _TCHAR should be used for creating Unicode/ANSII
portable applications.

MBCS Survival Guide at
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/fareast/mbcssg.asp
 says:
"For ANSI conformance, the "official" type is _TCHAR.
In practice, either TCHAR or _TCHAR is acceptable."
