[gdal-dev] Unicode filenames

Frank,

Is RFC 30 supposed to mean that using GDALOpen can be used with utf8 
filenames? Are the changes made in trunk already?

I'm testing on Windows and I observe that opening a file using utf8 
filename does not succeed due to OpenInfo creation failing (the filename 
is still in utf8 at that point) and thus no driver picks up the file. 
The code never gets to VSIWin32FilesystemHandler where recode to ucs2 
happens.

Regards,

Ari
