Merge FileFileName::Private::checksum() into FileFileName::checksum().
I have an off-topic, but related question.
For all error messages, the absFilename() is used to print filenames.
It is always UTF-8. However, on the Windows console,
UTF-8 strings can't be displayed properly if it has non-ASCII chars.
So any messages directing to console may have chaose chars.
Right.
This is not a big problem, because if we redirect the stdout/stderr
to a file then we can read the message properly.
And almost no users will read the console messages, only the developpers.
Well, advanced users do read the console messages because we often ask
them to do so for debugging purpose.
But it still a problem, right?
On Windows yes I guess.
The fix is very difficult, all these absFilename calls must be
manually corrected.
So it's a complex, time-consuming work. As the side effect is minimal,
I suggest not to fix it.
Me neither :-)
I just want to address it here, in case somebody likes
to kill some time, it might be a good choice.
A good solution would be to provide some GUI controls to enable/disable
debugging output. Ideally these output would be redirected to a log file.
