[PATCH] UTF8 Filenames under Windows

[Tobias]

As GnuPG’s command line does not support UTF 16 filenames, all filenames must be encoded in UTF8.
With Linux this just works fine, but the Windows Ascii API (CreateFileA) does not support accessing files using UTF8 paths. It just results in a File not found Error.

Attached is a patch for the GnuPG 1.4 branch, that converts all paths from UTF8 to UTF16 and pass them to Windows Wide API.

It should resolve the issue 1409.

Would be great if it would make into one of the next stable versions.

Thanks
Tobias
