Unicode Windows API, Was: Concerns about using Python's ctypes library on Windows

[박경국]

As a mercurial user on Windows platform,
fixutf8 + thg has not been a very good combination for me.
Because of a thg nature that loads extensions all together
for every repository during start-up, I cannot have one
and only one repository stored in UTF-8 among other repositories.

If I load fixutf8 for one repository, it breaks other repositories'
committing or updating if they contains multi-byte file names.
Repository-wide hgrc is useless in this case.

And the reason I have a repo in UTF-8 on Windows is
that it was converted from a subversion repo via 'hg convert'.
'hg convert' transcodes log messages based on HGENCODING
but does not apply for the file names.
