System.Directory.getCurrentDirectory doesn't work on win32 if the current directory has non-ascii characters in its name
If you create a path with an international character in it (accented letters are not enough, but russian characters or the euro symbol "€" is), and you try to call getCurrentDirectory from there (e.g. with ghci), it raises an exception:
Prelude System.Directory> getCurrentDirectory
*** Exception: SetCurrentDirectory: does not exist (The system cannot find the file specified.)
