>Description:
Currently command-line arguments are assumed to be
encoded in Latin-1.  This is incorrect; instead we
should assume they are in the user's current locale.

(We also convert filenames to Utf-8.  This is arguably
correct; I'm told that most people realize that
locale-specific filenames are a bad idea.  One hopes that
the world, or at least the free software world, will
move to universal Utf-8 usage someday.)
