[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49118] GUI editor cannot run file in folder name with umlaut

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #54, bug #49118 (project octave):

Maybe I wasn't clear about what I wanted, but the current patch doesn't do
what I meant to suggest.

For example, we already have octave::sys::mkdir in the file-ops.{h,cc}.  We
don't  need to add octave:sys::octave_mkdir with the same signature in
lo-sysdep.cc.  Ideally, the details of calling _wmkdir or whatever should be
handled in gnulib and we would just use a wrapper around the gnulib function. 
If that's not possible, then the next best thing would be to fix our wrapper
function to do the right thing.  If that's not possible, then we could
consider doing that job in the existing octave::sys::mkdir function.

Also, do we need to define our own unicode conversion function?  Doesn't
gnulib have functions to do this job?
