You can use g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8() to obtain a short
filename (8.3) that will refer to the filename with unrepresentable
characters. You can then use it with "narrow" functions of the Windows
API. This will not work if short filename generation is turned off in
the registry. I don't know whether it's still turned on by default.
