#3300: System.Directory.getDirectoryContents not unicode-aware under Windows

-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Under Windows, System.Directory.getDirectoryContents seems to apply
encoding conversions on filenames at the syscall level.
I have several files with Japanese names, but my default program locale is
English. Unicode-aware applications (that is, most modern Windows
programs) have no problems with this. Calling getDirectoryContents on a
folder with Japanese names, however, returns strings consisted of question
marks "???".
If I switch the default program locale to, say, Japanese, then the files
are returned in ShiftJIS, but I lose information such as accented Latin
characters.
