More work on the string adaptor policy stuff. There's now a default_string_adaptor template, suitably specialized for std::string and std::wstring. The specializations automatically convert from UTF-8 to UTF-16 (or vice_versa) as appropriate which means you can do things like

expat_wrapper<std::string> parser_returning_UTF8;
expat_wrapper<std::wstring> parser_returning_UTF16;

or

msxml_wrapper<std::string> validating_parser_returning_UTF8;
msxml_wrapper<std::wstring> validating_parser_returning_UTF16;

expat_wrapper<stringT> is drop in replaceable with msxml_wrapper<stringT> naturally.
