In the new library, string handling has been *completely* reworked. Strings are 
internationalized now, so there is not the one, simple, straightforward 
conversion to C-strings anymore. I do not know exactly what would be the 
method to convert string that does correspond to your CSTR class. Problem is 
that, AFAIK, the bytewise representation of unicode strings is implementation 
defendant, so just passing a pointer to the memory space where the string is 
stored will never give you anything portable.
