This commit was just trying to eliminate warnings, not change the
functionality.
This code originally came from OpenLDAP's utf-8-conv.c, and was
incorporated with the goal of Windows compatibility (for PACs and RC4
string-to-key). If Windows now supports UTF-16 then we could consider
extending it, but I wouldn't want to do so without confirmation of that.

Thanks for the pointer.
