The only unexpected thing is the empty output of GBK-encoded chinese
characters when LANG is xxxx.UTF-8.

I mean it should display something visible(malformed characters, squares or
whatever visible characters) regardless the LANG setting.

echo -e "Chinese characters in GBK encoding: [\xba\xba\xd7\xd6]  -- Output
will be [    ] in Cygwin 1.7"
echo -e "Chinese characters in UTF-8 encoding: [\xe6\xb1\x89\xe5\xad\x97]"

Cygwin windows is a DOS prompt window, and this window has a code page, it's
code page 936(GBK) in Simplified Chinese Windows OS. But Cygwin 1.7 is
*simulating* UTF-8 environment, will this difference cause the empty output
issue?
