full i18n support is not easy to do. We talked about this at the meeting
in Strasbourg: The best solution is to use Unicode (i.e. WideStrings),
and we would have to detect the current character encoding of the
system. (we found out how libc is doing this, and it's quite
complicated. So don't expect an implementation for FPC too soon). For
now, the best solution is using some hacks... (simply assuming that
codepages are set up correctly in the system, etc.) - just try it out
and check wether it works or not...
