When retrieving Unicode text from an edit box in the GUI configurer,
we were using plain memchr() to look for a terminating NUL. But of
course you have to use wmemchr() to look for a UTF-16 NUL, or else
memchr() will generate a false positive on the UTF-16 version of (at
least) any ASCII character!
(I also have to provide a fallback implementation of wmemchr for the
w32old builds, which don't have it in the libc they build against.
It's as simple as possible, and we use the libc version where
possible.)
Now that the new CMake build system is encouraging us to lay out the
code like a set of libraries, it seems like a good idea to make them
look more _like_ libraries, by putting things into separate modules as
far as possible.
This fixes several previous annoyances in which you had to link
against some object in order to get a function you needed, but that
object also contained other functions you didn't need which included
link-time symbol references you didn't want to have to deal with. The
usual offender was subsidiary supporting programs including misc.c for
some innocuous function and then finding they had to deal with the
requirements of buildinfo().
This big reorganisation introduces three new subdirectories called
'utils', one at the top level and one in each platform subdir. In each
case, the directory contains basically the same files that were
previously placed in the 'utils' build-time library, except that the
ones that were extremely miscellaneous (misc.c, utils.c, uxmisc.c,
winmisc.c, winmiscs.c, winutils.c) have been split up into much
smaller pieces.
