Mmmh, the fix requires to change PyUnicode_AsWideChar() function (support 
non-BMP characters and surrogate pairs) (and maybe also to create 
PyUnicode_AsWideCharString()). I don't really want to change such important 
function in a stable branch (Python2).

Is it really important to support non-BMP characters for ctypes.c_wchar in 
Python2? I would like to say: if you want better unicode support, use Python 3. 
And Python 3.2 if it's possible :-)
