[vlc-devel] Re: vlc: svn commit r18807 (md)

[Damien Fouilleul]

i was thinking of partial solution, especially for LibVLC users (such as 
activex, mozilla, etc...), whereby they would have to pass a specific 
argument in argv[1] in UTF8 format, such as "--utf8-args", this would 
indicate whether the following arguments are UTF8 compliant or not. if 
this arguments is not seen as the first argument, then the LibVLC would 
call 'FromLocale' on all arguments internally, which would happen for 
VLC app.
