Hello,

user-full-name might contain non-ASCII characters. For example,
pw_gecos is encoded in UTF-8 on Darwin.

No technical problems exist except in which coding system should Emacs
decode the username. We have three options:

1. Introduce something like directory-system-coding-system and guess
it in set-locale-environment.

2. Apply file-name-coding-system and pray that it works.

3. Hardcode for each platform.
