It seems easier, but in fact to DTRT according to the documentation 
above means dropping support for Windows 95, 98 and ME, and modifying 
ALL system messages to use Unicode, which is major work. I think it is 
worth doing that for Emacs 22, because Windows 98 and ME are almost dead 
now, and probably will be by the time Emacs 22 s released, and also with 
the change of Emacs' internal representation, Unicode fits better. But 
now I think the best approach for this problem is to add an entry to 
PROBLEMS and get on with the release.
