Cool. Works perfectly :). Can type characters like 'ä' or 'ß' without
problems.
 
Just one thing: when compiling with gcc 2.95, wstring wasn't defined.
Had to use 3.2 to get it to compile.

As wstring is nothing more than a typedef 

    typedef basic_string <wchar_t> wstring;

it shouldn't be a problem to define it ourselves if required. Otherwise
it's okay.

As far as the colors are concerned, I don't think any predefined colors
will be required. As long as it is possible to define the color as an
int32 value (like 0x000000 for black), that'll be okay. That way, one
has much more freedom in chosing a certain color.
