Probably an issue with unicode mode.  AFAIU, the UNICODE preprocessor
macro is supposed to be defined when using unicode, and undefed when not
using unicode, but apparently some build environment do not work that
way, I have never had a definite answer.  You may want to try to #undef
UNICODE before including brlapi.h, or use directly brlapi_writeTextWin()
with the "wide" parameter set to 0. We will probably have to rethink
this part of the API on windows.
