Actually, oggenc currently only takes characters in the ANSI code page
(where the ANSI code page is a different code page depending on which
language of Windows you installed). What a pain.

I have a patch that makes oggenc-rc3 take a UCS-16 (the kind of UNICODE that
is default in windows) command line. The problem is, it causes oggenc to not
work at all on Win9x/Me.

When I get a round tuit, I'll probably create a patch to oggenc that takes
UCS-16 on NT/2k/XP, but still uses the ANSI code page command line on 9x/Me.
It is quite possible to accept UCS-16 on 9x, but (a) I don't feel like
putting out the effort required, and (b) it's probably pointless, as 9x/Me
doesn't use UCS-16 natively, so you probably wouldn't get the results you
wanted anyway.

Anyone care to comment on this plan?
