I was wondering if there was any hope to at least see utf-8 locale
support added(which would make
a lot of sense) to newlib.  

Hi,

One problem I have come across is that the Subversion port to Cygwin
fails when dealing with non-ASCII file names.

On the other hand, I don't really have the time to add UTF-8 support to
newlib either.  It is also somewhat questionable if UTF-8 support is
even appropriate for newlib, since it designed for embedded system use.

Maybe the Cygwin port could acquire the necessary functionality by way
of the operating system?
