Two possibilities:

 1) always require UTF-8 as filenames, use GLib g_fopen to make this work on
    windows (which then does a conversion to UTF-16). Do conversion to the file
    system encoding before calling g_fopen on Posix. 

 2) Pass the pathname in the GLib file name encoding. On POSIX this is the
    actual on-disk encoding which might correspond to the locale settings of
the
    process (or the G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable), or not.
    On Windows this is UTF-8.

GLib recommends 2) which requires the Application to figure out the file name
encoding. 1) requires the sink to figure out the encoding, which is probably
even harder.

This patch does 1) and requires the locale of the app to be set to the correct
encoding of the target file system.
