For some magic reason it seems to be mapped to unsigned short when we do
build omniorb4 with a cygwin environment and the C++ Compiler from VC
7.1. We used the source code out of the box - just setting the python
path and the platform.

Then the symbol
"__declspec(dllimport) public: static wchar_t const * const
_CORBA_WString_helper::empty_wstring"
(__imp_?empty_wstring at _CORBA_WString_helper@@2QB_WB)

 is not part of the dll/lib (because unsigned short is used instead of
wchar_t)

That's what we experienced.
