I do not think that copy_change_file_name_encoding.pl is the right place
for that.  This script just allows to setup a latin1 encoded file name,
it should only fail and communicate so if it is not possible to setup a
latin1 encoded file name.

If the corresponding tests fail, it is for another reason, we can skip
them on Windows, but I think that copy_change_file_name_encoding.pl
should be left out of it.
