XMLCh typedef should be conditional under MSVC 7

           Summary: XMLCh typedef should be conditional under MSVC 7
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jsp@pkc.com


Some time back, Tom Walpole made the following observation (in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xerces-c-dev&m=101422550027878&w=2):

  VC7 will treat wchar_t as a seperate type if the compile switch 'Zc:wchar_t'
  is used.  It also defines the symbol _WCHAR_T_DEFINED if the switch is used.

He also suggested changing the XMLCh typedef in VCPPDEFS.CPP from:

  typedef wchar_t XMLCh;

to

  #ifdef _WCHAR_T_DEFINED
             typedef wchar_t XMLCh;
  #else
             typedef unsigned short  XMLCh;
  #endif

David Bertoni seconded the notion, and it makes sense to me. Lest it be
forgotten, here's a bug report.
