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
