RE: Full Unicode Pathnames
Well, exactly. You have to transcode to UTF-16 and call the W apis on
Windows.

Have you given any thought to supporting full Unicode file names on

down to the bottom of the C code, and then transcode and call the W

The problem with using UTF-8 is that you still have to transcode to
the system codepage when using any 8-bit interfaces (e.g. passing data
to subprocesses). Although there is a UTF-8 codepage (CP-65001), I've
never encountered anyone using it as their system codepage.
