[fpc-devel] RTL and Unicode filenames operations.

[dmitry boyarintsev]

Hello,

The patch has been updated: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15795
(is it possible to allow the reporter to delete its files in FPC bug tracker?)

The library is now RTL "encoding" independent. Actually it's
configurable, so, if RTL string encoding changes, only a 2-3 lines in
the library should be changed.

All 3 issues should be fixed by now.
