I'll look into that.

Indeed!  However, right now ls will print the correct filename regardless
of the codepage used.  "Right now", because I still hope that Kadzuhiro
will come up with the NLS-related changes discussed on cygwin-developers
which obsoletes the CYGWIN=codepage setting in favor of LC_CTYPE et al.

  1.7$ export CYGWIN=codepage:ansi
  1.7$ ls -b
  \304\353\344
  1.7$ ls --show-control-chars
  Äëä
  1.7$ export CYGWIN=codepage:utf8
  1.7$ ls -b
  \303\204\303\253\303\244
  1.7$ ls --show-control-chars
  Äëä
