Don't we already do that? I thought that was much of the point of the
Great Mule Merge of 21.5.6 or so. Ben?
yes, this is already done. we don't represent as utf-8 (yet), but we do
convert at the bottom of the c code and call the W variants. it's
actually a bit more complicated -- i wrote it so that it will call
either the W or A variants, depending on a run-time flag, so it would
also work on win95. that's what calls like qxeFindNextFile() are for.
