What are the exact plans of Lazarus in this? Is there some wiki page with
how Lazarus plans to tackle this with all multi-platform concerns?

All strings the LCL are UTF8, see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LCL_Unicode_Support

For windows this means all strings in the LCL are converted to ansi, if the OS is win9X, and to widestring, if the OS is NT or higher.

See in particular: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LCL_Unicode_Support#Dealing_with_directory_and_filenames

IMHO there should be a better solution than to convert file and directory to/from ansi. I think, this is the archiles heel of the Lazarus unicode support, that it depends on a RTL that has insufficient unicode support.
