You can check my thread about wchar doesn't work in FreeBSD 4.x and there
has workaround. Also, included Tim Robbins has explained a little in there.

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-stable/2004-May/thread.html#7365

The workaround is I added:
============================================
#include <cwchar>
namespace std
{
	typedef basic_string <wchar_t> wstring;
}
============================================

Maybe, someone can port wchar stuff (don't know what exactly place) from
FreeBSD 5.x to DragonFly if it will working.
