           Summary: the main() generated by mkbundle2 should be Unicode
                    aware
           Product: Mono: Tools
           Version: 1.2.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: tools
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
        ReportedBy: tlillqvist at novell.com

The main() function in the main.c generated by the mkbundle2 tool currently
passes its normal "narrow" char* argv on to mono_main(). This means that on
Windows, it cannot accept command line arguments with arbitrary Unicode
characters. Also, apparently mono_main() expects that the argv passed to it is
in UTF-8 also on Windows (while it actually currently is in the system
codepage).

It is quite simple to fix the mkbundle'd main() to accept an arbitrary Unicode
command line on Windows and pass that as an UTF-8 argument vector to
mono_main(). Will attach patch.
