Hikari support for Linux

I have managed to build very few additional modules for python ogre on Linux, mainly because they use non cross-platform libraries. Nonetheless I am still very keen on using hikari on it, but I have ran into the same exact problem: Hikari uses comsuppw library. I have only found it for Win and I am quite disappointed.

Could anyone suggest some workaround ?
Thanks!

Probably should ask on the main Ogre forum to see if anyone has done the port -- only then can we look to wrap it for Python...

Cheers
Andy
