----------------------------------

Best ask for this on the users mailing list. Issues here on the issue tracker are not very much monitored and your report of a potential oversight might slip through.

> On NT-class variants of Windows, we should use the wide-character functions for console I/O and use UTF-16 encoding. Using apr_app_initialize instead of apr_initialize would also help, because command-line arguments and environment strings would be made available in UTF-8, again avoiding the need for lossy conversion.
