Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

For Windows versions that support it, we could use GetNameInfoW, available on 
XPSP2+, W2k3+ and Vista+.

The questions then are: what to do about gethostbyaddr, and what to do about 
the general case?

Since the problem appears to be specific to Windows, it might be appropriate to 
find a solution to just the Windows case, and ignore the general issue. For 
gethostbyaddr, decoding would then use CP_ACP.
