This means that the other side (the tar/zip extractor, the samba/ftp/http
server) will know that it should translate those filenames back to unicode
strings. I believe that this is not the case with uni_xlate, but this
maybe the case with what I get when I use "utf8=true".

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Anyway - I'll try to check it, assuming I'll have a windows cleint 
availble...
