 There is an bug in tcl used in current wingrass packages that prevents tcl
 usage with non-latin filenames. In version 8.5.8.1 directories work fine
 (couldn't find exact entry in tcl bugzilla, still I got a hint in #tcl
 that there where fixes regarding encodings on Windows).

 Test with:
 {{{
 mkdir "āšņļ"
 wish
 puts [file isdirectory [tk_chooseDirectory]]
 }}}
 Wiht current Wingrass included tcl/tk it returns 0 for "āšņļ" directory,
 with 8.5.8.1 from ActiveState it returns 1, as it should be.

 Tested failure with WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r41363 on Windows Vista region set to
 Latvia.
