Recently I've been getting into some C and having programmed in a number of other languages know enough to be sure I wanted to have a solid understanding of properly handling encodings and strings in general. I've obtained a good understanding, but now I am looking to abstract some of the low-level mechanics. Unfortunately most of the libraries I have seen (such as bstring) use structs. It was nice to see this approach taken. Thanks for extracting it and making it easy to find and learn about!

On a related note - does anyone have recommendations for a similar small library for dealing with conversions from char * to wchar_t * and basic encoding duties? I'm working cross-platform, and so far I've stitched together some functions wrapping stuff like wcsrtombs() and WideCharToMultiByte().
