I don't think this hack should be necessary. If I understood the g_option 
code correctly, there is just some g_filename_to_utf8() missing.

AFAIK the environment is in the locale encoding and so we can just always 
convert filenames to GLib's filename encoding. It would be interesting what 
happens with filenames not represantable in the locale encoding, e.g. using 
a Japanese filename on a German NT.
