I did some googling and they don't support unicode filenames. So we
are back to zero systems using this method again =)

I think that we should keep in mind that we already have a fast ansi
set of routines which fits the operating system encoding (but is never
utf-16).

What we wish to have is a unicode set of routines, the ansi routines
will keep existing if you really need speed.
