We need to be careful on Windows: there are "ANSI" versions of the API functions that take char *, and "Unicode" versions that take "wchar_t ` strings as parameters. The ANSI versions are subject to the current codepage, i.e. almost guaranteed to *not handle UTF-8. Internally, we do want to use UTF-8, though, at least in compat/mingw.c, so we really have to use the Unicode versions of the Win32 API.
