    _______________________________________________________

Details:

*) filesystemRepresentation is declared as returning char* when it actually
returns unichar*
*) Even gnustep-base itself has uses of filesystemRepresentation that are not
expecting unichars.
*) Unicode is NOT the native filesystem encoding for the Win32 API.  Win32
actually has 2 "native" encodings.

This patch resolves all of these issues.
new method -unicodeFilesystemRepresentation
fixed all win32 uses of filesystemRepresentation to use the new
unicodeFilesystemRepresentation
fixed all of the occurances of a unicode string being passed to a ANSI api
call
