-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
As part of my work on GHC's Unicode support
(http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/Encoding-Tickets) I
identified some potential Unicode problems in Cabal install. The attached
patch resolves them:
1. Use wide (UTF-16) APIs to retrieve file paths
2. Use withFilePath (from base) when marshalling a file path, as this
will do the Right Thing when my changes are committed, though it is
functionally equivalent to withCAString right now.
Patch attached.
