Thanks.  I'm therefore closing this bug.

Yes.  This is being discussed on emacs-devel, and once that discussion
ends, the fileio.c and dired.c functions will be fixed as well.

Accessing remote files doesn't go through functions in w32.c, it goes
through file handlers (in Tramp).

If they want 100% solid support, they will have to change their
customizations, sorry.  (We could implement an equivalence table,
whereby, e.g., shift_jis would be mapped to cp932, but these encodings
are slightly different, so I think that would be a kludge.)

In any case, the new code in w32.c is no worse than the previous one,
when file-name-coding-system is set to anything that is not a
recognized Windows codepage.  It is actually slightly better: it uses
the system-wide ANSI codepage in that case.  In most cases, this would
be the right thing anyway.
