That means adding an additional constructor to all TagLib::File subclasses (two
for MPEG and FLAC, one for MPC, Ogg, Ogg::FLAC, Ogg::Vorbis and FileRef), an
additional TagLib::File::name, TagLib::File::isReadable and
TagLib::File::isWritable methods, plus some additional functions in the C
bindings. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to duplicate code like this.
Otherwise, it is the cleanest solution for full Unicode support on Windows.

Yes.
