I do not think that it is a good solution either.  On Linux, unless I
missed something, the file name encoding should be utf-8 irrespective of
the locale, or the Texinfo document encoding.  Maybe on Windows the
locale and the file-name encoding match, then we should use that.

In any case, I do not think that letting the user specify the file-name
encoding would be any good, we should manage to get it right.
