wmemchr on MSVC


From: Bruno Haible
Subject: wmemchr on MSVC

User-agent: KMail/1.13.6 (Linux/2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop; KDE/4.6.0; x86_64; ; )

On MSVC 9, we get a compilation error in gnulib's <wchar.h>
replacement, because the autoconf test has not found the wmemchr()
function - in fact, it's an inline function - and therefore
our wchar.h provides a substitute - which is in fact unnecessary.

This fixes it. Likewise for wmemcmp, wmemcpy, wmemmove, wmemset.

        wmemchr: Support for MSVC.
        * m4/wmemchr.m4 (gl_FUNC_WMEMCHR): Use a small test program to test
        whether wmemchr() exists.
