+5.14 Windows Unicode builds use homedir in current locale
+
+ The Windows Unicode builds of curl use the current locale, but expect Unicode
+ UTF-8 encoded paths for internal use such as open, access and stat. The user's
+ home directory is retrieved via curl_getenv in the current locale and not as
+ UTF-8 encoded Unicode.
