Hi Stefano,

I think you may be right in that UCS2 for pyxpcomext could have been a 
better default choice, as that would be more compatible with the stock 
Python builds. I'll look into this some more and make sure it's all 
going to work, then hopefully I can provide the UCS2 builds as well.

Cheers,
Todd
