C++: Step 3 of the std::string transition. Convert the class overrides to use std::string instead of char*. Implement functions that take arrays of strings to std::vector<std::string>. Begin converting dwtestoo to use std::string instead of C style strings. Temporarily rename C style Connect functions to have a C at the end. It isn't clear to me why, but clang is telling me they are ambiguous. Even though the lambda explicitly specifies std::string it can't decide between the std::string or char* versions of the functions.

-- Special notes for version 3.1 --
Version 2.4 has started a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
