Yes. I always intended to create a config switch for enableing UTF-8 in the 
filesystem. But I think that we don't need to support arbitrary charsets. 
ASCII and UTF-8 should be sufficient. I know that you can create filenames 
on the shell with any charset you like, but that's really going to be 
trouble. It's not worth the effort. UTF-8 is fine because it can be sent 
straigth into any URL.
