On Windows, kwsys and most IO classes still do filesystem operations using
the local 8-bit encoding.  Which is silly, I know, considering that Windows
provided unicode APIs 22 years ago. But I don't see anyone volunteering to
fix this, which means that, right now, some people will have to use
encodings other than utf-8 for their filenames.
