Comment (by davidsarah):

 To clarify my previous comment, Windows filesystems -- and the Python APIs
 -- are capable of representing characters in paths that are not
 representable as a string in {{{sys.getfilesystemencoding()}}} (which is
 always {{{"mbcs"}}} on Windows, i.e. the system's "ANSI" encoding).
 Currently we do handle such paths correctly in most cases (except that a
 Tahoe-LAFS source tree won't build in a Unicode directory).
