It's kind of idiotic that SFM uses another, incompatible mapping
than SFU.  Cygwin supports the SFU mapping, so you have to do
a second mapping using some perl script or so.  For the mapping
used in Cygwin, see
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-specialchars

Like SFU, Cygwin just transposes the charatcers into the 0xf0XX
range by adding 0xf000 to the ASCII value.

Note that you're out of luck when using slashes or backslash.  You have
to convert these filenames into names with different chars.
