+He forgot option c) don't use glib for filename handling.

+Insisting that all files have validly utf-8 encoded names is nonsense.
+ Even with setlocale(LC_ALL, "") and G_BROKEN_FILENAMES your test prog
+still has the names with latin1 chars defaced with "[Invalid UTF-8]"

+Unfortunately ripping glib out means going back to iconv, which is
+just as nasty :-(
