I did this:
(setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-16)
I also tested this after starting up with --no-init-file.
If I do
(setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-8)
it works and my file names looks very funny in Explorer.exe if I save
a file with, for example, Swedish characters... :)
I tried something similar on Emacs 21.3 on Mandrake at home, setting
the coding-system to mule-utf-16-le and now my Putty-window sits
there, freezing... :)
