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.
