TagLib 1.5 for windows binaries are broken

[Casper van Donderen]

Hi Jeff,

Are you on MSVC 2005?

then you have to change the sourcecode to LPWSTR. Tht is something
that changed in the Windows API between 2005 & 2008, the string is now
constant (the C), it used to be not like that.

Regards,

Casper van Donderen
