Hi!
It will clearly also need an update to the comment, but I can take care
of that.
I assume you have tested this? The comment says that it works because we
are handling UTF8 on a special way on Windows, but AFAIK we *don't*
handle EUC_JP in a special way there?
If your database is in EUC_JP, I don't see why gettext() isn't picking
it up properly in the first place..
And why do we need that on Windows only, and not on other platforms?
