Buf if PY_UNICODE_TYPE is not set in configure, unicodeobject.h tries to
settle on a default value. Which turns out to be Py_UCS4 in UCS4 builds:
http://hg.pitrou.net/public/py3k/py3k/file/da93fc81b086/Include/unicodeobject.h#l86

And Py_UCS4 itself will be larger than 4 bytes if the platform's int
size is larger than that:
http://hg.pitrou.net/public/py3k/py3k/file/da93fc81b086/Include/unicodeobject.h#l119

So if you want to be 100% correct, you should use
sizeof(PY_UNICODE_TYPE) (or sizeof(Py_UNICODE), which is the same). If
you don't want to, sys.maxunicode is sufficient :-)
