To support apps that use G_FILENAME_ENCODING to determine which encoding 
to convert filenames to and from.  I see there's a new 
g_get_filename_charsets function to return the preferred charsets in 2.6 
so maybe this isn't as important.  This does mean that people will need 
to update their sources before recompiling with 2.6; otherwise things 
will break at runtime when a filename is converted to the incorrect 
encoding.
