 Replying to [comment:10 cypherpunks]:
 > No problem with Vidalia or Torlauncher, they passes agruments in proper
 way, but Tor can handle only non unicode argv that OS converted using
 configured code-page. Proper way is to drop ~~windows~~ legacy code that
 depends code-page and to use unicode windows specific stuff and funcs.

 Hm. If we can do this by just handling unicode command-line arguments
 (s/main/wmain/), this won't be hard.  If we need to change every place
 that we touch the file system or manipulate a path, that will be a bit
 harder.
