the size parameter should say whether it's measured in bytes or 
characters.

For instance, if I pass CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_W for the first parameter and a 
pure ASCII file name for the 'from' parameter, it's obvious the 'to' 
buffer needs to be at least 2x the size of 'from'.  The question the 
docs don't answer is whether I should pass >= 2*(strlen(from)+1) for 
size or >= strlen(from)+1?
