unicode "tables"

[Jonathan Wilson]

I remember some people talking about some kind of "unicode tables" that 
WINE has but that dont match with the MS implementation.
What are the tables for?
And what API call(s) are involved?

StringCompareA/W and related functions won't do the exactly the same 
thing as Windows, as Wine uses standard Unicode collation tables.

Actually everything else under libs/unicode has lots of differences
with microsoft's implementation.

Just so you know, Samba has and uses the Microsoft tables, extracted (in
short) over the network by performing operations that cause the
Microsoft servers to use those tables.
