What's the point of the above change?

Please don't use ugly mixed case variable names. Same for other tests.

Please keep line length close to 80 columns limit. What are you calling a
"null character" here? A NULL pointer is not a NUL character. What happens
in the code below if mbchar is not NULL but wchar is?

While rewriting that function, I used the parameter names described on MSDN.
I don't see a point in inventing new parameter names for documented 
functions.

Well, this is the variable naming convention used by most Win32 developers.
Also there are a lot of other components in Wine using this coding style, 
just look for example in "notepad" or "regedit".

if(mbchar && !wchar)  --> Put a NULL character into mbchar and return 1 as 
its length.
if(!mbchar && wchar)  --> Return the length of wchar

You might think that (!mbchar && !wchar) should now return 1 as the length 
of a NULL character, but MS seems to have put a check here and returns 0 in 
this case.

These behaviours are also covered by some of the added tests in the 4th 
patch.

That doesn't mean they have to be used in Wine. Please don't do that.

That doesn't make it right in the *NIX world. Please use notation more 
accepted in Wine - all lover case with underscores.

NULL is a null pointer. NUL is a \0 character. Please don't mix and match 
the two. They are totally separate things.

Then those particular tests should go together with this patch to show it's 
correct.
