I am not proficient with Windows APIs and none of

shed any light for me. What I thought is that toFilesystemEncoding()
should do the right thing and that CreateFile should follow.
I don't know the internals, but if the docs to CreateFile don't
tell me anything about the encoding, I assume that I can pass any
of the two possible encodings and they will be dealt with correctly.
For what I know, CreateFile could use the W or A APIs according
to whatever succeeds, but this is a speculation of mine.
I generally try to stay away from direct exposure to Windows and
use the Cygwin shield, which worked well for me until now ;-)
