Updated to use wide char functions. tested with ru_RU.UTF-8 and ru_RU.KOI8-R,
fr_FR.UTF-8, ja_JP.eucJP and some chinese locales.

Concerning tar and cpio, I can probably push the same thing into bsdtar (which
will fix the same issue they also have on linux), ftp is safe, pax is not and
could probably be fixed as well.

FYI on linux only ls has been fixed. gnutar uses a different format for its
output.
