Cygwin is using the wide char functions provided by newlib. Newlib
(http://sources.redhat.com/newlib/) is still lacking a couple of
wide char functions so far, namely:
fwprintf
fwscanf
swprintf
swscanf
vfwprintf
vswprintf
vwprintf
wprintf
wscanf
wcstod
wcstof
wcstold
wcsftime
wcstok
wcstok has been contributed but isn't checked in so far. As for all
the other functions, contributions to newlib are always welcome on the
newlib mailing list.
