   I have added some more cases to your example Martin, in Hebrew, Chinese
and Japanese and a combination. The combination is an interesting case as it
will not work with mbcs with a particular code page, as no code page (to my
knowledge) contains all the characters.

   This works using my modifications except for the calls to os.rename.
