It's not realistic to bury are heads in the sand and ignore this.  It's 
coming.

Since we require a Posix environment, that means utf8 locale support must 
be in place, thus all the OS bits are there waiting to be used.

But to do this properly we really need to overhaul the code base to 
process everything internally as utf8.  That's not a trivial task, but we 
have to do it, sooner or later.
