I made a patch to cygwin1.dll to support UTF-8. It allows you to use all of characters and file (or path) names allowed in Windows, while keeping binary-compatibility with the current Cygwin. It is fairly perfect except for lack of locale support etc. So it may remind you of the good old BeOS. See:
