Win32LCPTranscoder::transcode doesn't handle wcstombs errors

           Summary: Win32LCPTranscoder::transcode doesn't handle wcstombs
                    errors
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 2.1.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Utilities
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: vminarik@ips-ag.cz


I have had troubles with converting XMLCh string into char* in MSVC6.
When converting a XMLCh string containing characters with codes greater than 
255, I have got strings of correct lengths, but the content was correct up to 
the first character >255. Win32LCPTranscoder::transcode will stop and the rest 
of the string is not filled, if such a character occurs.

When debugging, I observed that LC_CTYPE should be set, so I used setlocale( 
LC_CTYPE, "Czech_Czech.1250") and the problem was solved. But everybody is not 
able to debug xercesc, so I think there should be some error tracking, if 
transcode function fails.

Maybe also add a short notice about setlocale into xercesc documentation.
