I hope so.  The problem was that the "special folders" like the Windows
system directory were still read using the ANSI version of the Win32
function.  This affected all of the options -D, -H, -O, -P, -S, -W.  The
patch fixes that by using the Unicode variation of the function and then
converting the path to the appropriate multibyte representation.
