From configure script, 4-byte Unicode characters (--with-wide-unicode) is
optional, default is 2 bytes.

`u' is optional build flag for SOABI.
You can also see `m' (--with-pymalloc) and `d' (--with-pydebug),
it also affect to file names for additionally installed modules.
(you can find some PYTHON_SOABI in lang/python/*).

It is possible to add wide-unicode option for python32,
but you must take care that after the option is changed,
all depending python module packages must be rebuild.
