I chose a different approach than yours, because
* On native Windows, 'char *' strings are supposed to be in the encoding
returned by GetACP(), not in UTF-8.
* Therefore changing the way bindtextdomain() works would not only be
backward-incompatible, but would also be inconsistent with Windows coding
conventions.
* Windows coding conventions imply that file names and directory names should
be represented by wchar_t arrays, if they may contain arbitrary Unicode
characters.
