 It's unclear whether GRASS can be made to work reliably with the Shift-JIS
 (CP932) encoding, due to the use of 0x5C (backslash/yen) as the second
 byte of a double-byte sequence. On Windows, GRASS always treats 0x5C as a
 directory separator. Similar use of 0x7C (vertical bar) may also cause
 problems, as it's commonly used as a field separator.

 So far, we've yet to find a solution which doesn't involve far more work
 than is feasible.
