Well the conversion to UTF-8 is really not needed. For Pspell .11 all
that really needs to be done is a copy of the string with a 16 bit null
character at the end.
To get the length of the strings returned (in both Pspell .11 and .12)
first convert it to unsigned short * and then look for the 16 bit null
character (ie a 0 after is is converted to an unsigned short *)
