Hmmm ... on closer inspection, though, it might not be that hard.
pgreadlink is already using a fixed-length buffer (with only enough
room for MAX_PATH WCHARs) for the input of WideCharToMultiByte.  So
it could use a fixed-length buffer of say 4 * MAX_PATH bytes for the
output, and then transfer just the appropriate amount of data to the
caller's buffer.
