Hi,

I propose to raise Unicode errors if a filename cannot be decoded on Windows, instead of creating a bogus filenames with questions marks. Because this change is incompatible with Python 3.2, even if such filenames are unusable and I consider the problem as a (Python?) bug, I would like your opinion on such change before working on a patch.

+1 from me.

Regards

Antoine.
