I don't think your patch is correct. winebrowser should never have to do a
string conversion.

We have tests that show that in the client=ascii, server=unicode case the data
passed to DdeClientTransaction is converted from ascii to unicode if it is not
a unicode string. These tests are currently marked todo.

However, if they were fixed, winebrowser would do an additional conversion in
this case, which would break it, even with your patch.
