 Hi,

 fwd from grass bug # 996. (osgeo4w is our build environment for MS
 Windows)
  https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/996


 {{{
 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.
 }}}
