This is an outstanding issue on Windows. Simply put: most of the charset 
stuff does not work properly.

I had a lengthy discussion with Pawel about this and currently all 
conversions are off for the purpose of getting the thing compile on 
Windows. The way character conversions should be done is to query for 
the effective code page and do any possibly required charset conversions 
accordingly. Currently most ISO-8859-1 (aka. Latin-1) characters are 
handled correctly.

Which code page are you using?
