Description:
------------
PHP doesn't use the Widechar/Unicode Win32 APIs for file/dir access

Reproduce code:
---------------
create a file or folder which has chars in it's name that are outside the code page of the iis/appache user acount.  eg, try sticking greek and russian and chinese chars in one file name.  now try and read/write/dirlist that file.

is this a real problem? yes. although the above example is a bit contrived this is a problem for me.  I guess I will have to write my own php extension to do file handling as I'm not betting this will be fixed until php6?

Expected result:
----------------
for php on NT family to use the Widechar/Unicode funcs.  ie, CreateFileW(...) instead of CreateFileA(...)

Actual result:
--------------
n/a
