Coding systems and file completion for shell on w32

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

We have previously on the developers list discussed coding systems for 
*Shell* buffers on w32. I have sent some suggestions, but I do not think 
 any changes have been done yet. Could we please try to fix this?

For cmdproxy *Shell* buffers I think we have a good solution (not yet 
installed, please see my last message on the subject on the developers 
list) for the coding. For *Shell* buffers running MSYS or Cygwin I am a 
bit more hesitating. I believe the coding systems I proposed will work, 
but I am not sure how it will interfere with settings in those shells. 
And I do not know how to discover if MSYS or Cygwin are used. Maybe send 
something to ask the shell at startup?

We have also discussed the tab file name completion in a cmdproxy 
*Shell* buffer. This is currently broken. I sent a suggestion to fix it, 
but I have got no feedback whatsoever on this.
