For example, pw_gecos is encoded in UTF-8 on Darwin. No technical problems exist except in which coding system should Emacs decode the username. We have three options: 1. Introduce something like directory-system-coding-system and guess it in set-locale-environment. 2. Apply file-name-coding-system and pray that it works. 3. Hardcode for each platform.
