I imagine that we will pick a choice (I expect it'll be UCS2) and
make only that build available, until there are loud enough cries from
folks who have a reasonable excuse not to have a copy of VCC around.

Given that the rest of Windows uses 16-bit Unicode, I think we'll be
able to get away with this for quite a while.
