I think you missed the point. Adding g_local_to_utf8() in gst-launch-1.0 seems
to make a lot of sense to me. We can't assume the shell will run in UTF-8.
Normally the GOption stuff will deal with that, but we don't ask it to extract
the remaining options, instead we get it ourself (for legacy reason).
