bug#10299: Emacs doesn't handle Unicode characters in keyboard layout on MS Windows

["Joakim Hårsman" <joakim.harsman@gmail.com>]

Your patch works fine for me on Windows XP. Unicode input outside the
system code page works fine and so does non-ASCII input that is
present in the current code page.

Since this seems much cleaner than the previous patch, it is
definitely the way to go.

I think the critical change was switching to both DefWindowProcW and
DispatchMessageW (at least that's what
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/windowssdk/thread/07afec87-68c1-4a56-bf46-a38a9c2232e9/
leads you to believe).

I think I actually tried both those changes individually, but not both at once.

I'll test a patched build on Windows 7 tomorrow as well, sadly I don't
have access to anything running Windows 95.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this and test it.
