[DUG] Xero private API (OAuth)

[Jolyon Smith]

Simply changing all relevant declarations explicitly to ANSIChar /
ANSIString in the Flow code should have addressed any Unicode issues
(similarly knocking up a p.o.c in pre-Unicode version of Delphi would have
determined if this were the issue).

I would not rule out the possibility that Xero have changed something on
their end which has broken the Flow code - it has happened in the past and
as ever with OAuth you get no clues to go on as to what might be the
problem.  It doesn't help that unless things have changed since I was
wrestling with it, the Xero documentation is not exactly a shining example
of the art  (and from a quick look, it doesn't appear to have changed at
all since then).

If that is the case then using their provided wrappers is likely the most
reliable approach, if a little "clunky".  :)
