PSPP-BUG: [bug #33255] Non-ascii filenames not properly handled.

[Ben Pfaff]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #33255 (project pspp):

> Recent incarnations of windows use UTF-16LE encoding not UTF-8. 

I'm pretty sure that Windows has had the "W" versions of library functions,
that accept 16-bit Unicode encoding, practically forever.  Since Windows NT
3.x anyhow.

I've heard that there was a more recent change from using UCS-2 encoding
(which only supports characters in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane) to
UTF-16 encoding (which supports all Unicode characters via surrogate pairs). 
But that wouldn't affect support for simple accented characters.

It might be worthwhile to bring this up on the gnulib mailing list (but Bruno,
who would really know, has been MIA for a year or more).
