Re[3]: Can't run bitpim under windows xp with unicode path names.

I've just looked through the bitpim-devel archive and I've found that
this problem was discussed recently (topic "about ascii code greater
than 0x7F in file name"). Here is just the same problem! I think there
is unicode-to-ansi conversion somewhere and it needs to use some kind
of codepage, other than 7-bit ascii (for cyrillic symbols in win32 it is
"cp1251").

BTW, you can try to open in bitpim any file or directory with non-ascii
characters and see the exception.
I made a test zip archive with cyrillic files and folders, you can
download it from here: http://www.cdmasolutions.com/trash/
You may need to install Russian language support in windows to see the
names correctly.

At least, you can add an option to store all user data in bitpim
intallation directory, and avoid usage of "Documents and Setting"
subfolders. This should make the program work on non-english Windows.
