<p>It's not <em>a lot</em> more annoying, just <code>WideCharToMultiByte</code> with <code>CPUTF8</code>. Could even write a little function like <code>win32_wide_to_utf8</code> that hides the pre-flight pass and allocates the memory with GLib's allocator. It's maybe 5-10 lines of code to write that function.</p>
