Some background on this:

  http://www.nabble.com/-patch-4.5-%3A-Add--municode-to-mingw-targets-to22640263.html

The -municode gcc flag changes the entry point for Windows
applications from main() to wmain(), which is like main() but takes
wide char versions of argv and envp.  The more I read about
Microsoft's implementation of i18n, the more totally fscked up it
seems to be.
