The default is for Powershell to generate UTF-16 with BOM, and setting to UTF-8
also generates a BOM. (I understand newer versions of Powershell have a UTF8
with no BOM option, but that wasn't available for me.) The BOM is a problem
because Java for example does not discard the BOM, requiring workarounds like
Commons IO.
This limits function names in the C API to the ASCII character set, which
currently appears to be a reasonable limitation.
