A better answer would be that these files should be repocopied to names
consisting only of characters from the POSIX Portable Filename Character
Set (basically [A-Za-z0-9._-]):

These files are a problem not only for Windows users, but also when
burning the source tree to a CD or copying it to a FAT-formatted memory
stick.
