I've attached my first pass at a patch to change the file system encoding on Windows to UTF-8 and remove use of the *A APIs.

It would be trivial to change the encoding from UTF-8 back to CP_ACP and change the error mode if that's what we decide is better, but my vote is strongly for an encoding that never drops characters when converted from UTF-16.

Discussion is still ongoing on python-ideas, so let's argue about yes/no and utf-8/mbcs there and just discuss the patch here.
