Well it's totally doable, but it involves calling `WideCharToMultiByte()` twice
(or over-alloc `len*4+1` bytes), allocating manually and the like. Indeed
nothing complicated, but at least 4 lines or so worth of WINAPI code, where we
basically have access to a 1-line thing. So if it gives us something, yeah
sure, otherwise I'm not really sure it's worth it.
Hell, let's see how it'd look:
```C
static gchar *wcstr_to_utf8(wchar_t *wcstr)
{
int len = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, wcstr, -1, NULL, 0, NULL,
NULL);
gchar *utf8str = g_malloc(len + 1);
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, wcstr, -1, utf8str, len + 1, NULL,
NULL);
utf8str[len] = 0; // FIXME: is that useful?
return utf8str;
}
```
And according to the
[docs](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd374130%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
it probably doesn't really help:

So my understanding would be that in case of invalid UTF-16 (as it is possible
in filenames), it would result in uninteresting UTF-8, while we'd actually want
"WTF-8".
