[tex-live] User names too longs or with diacritics on Windows

[Philip TAYLOR]

I wonder whether it might be worth bringing Jonathan Kew,
and/or the current maintainer(s) of XeTeX, into this
discussion; they must surely have a reasonable knowledge
of what additional steps are needed to ensure that
Windows utilities are Unicode-aware.

Actually, having written that, I then thought to compare
the behaviour of TeX and XeTeX with the same file as
discussed earlier in the thread; the output for XeTeX
is disappointing, to say the least :

D:\Users>tex Cécile/Cécile.txt
This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (Web2C 2011)
(./C^^e9cile/C^^e9cile.txt)
