Cleaning up Pub.StdC

Hi,

We're currently making some changes to Pub.StdC to improved unicode support.

Pretty much all the Pub.StdC functions are now effectively 'wrapped', so what I'd now like to do is make the Pub.StdC interface more Max-like.

This basically involves replacing all the $z and $w types in the stdc.bmx interface with plain old Max strings (C/W strings were used originally so code could just call the underlying c runtime lib versions directly).

I can't imagine this having any major impact on existing code, but it is a bigger than minor change so I thought I'd just let everyone known in advance.

I never found any documentation on $z or $w types so I didn't really knew about them, but I think I've seen them in some of the user contributed modules.
