 As part of my work on GHC's Unicode support
 (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/Encoding-Tickets) I
 identified some potential Unicode problems in Cabal install. The attached
 patch resolves them:

   1. Use wide (UTF-16) APIs to retrieve file paths

   2. Use withFilePath (from base) when marshalling a file path, as this
 will do the Right Thing when my changes are committed, though it is
 functionally equivalent to withCAString right now.

 Patch attached.
