I don't think I'd call that "insane" (in fact, I think these  
discussions would be much less irritating for all involved if we  
didn't use that word so often, even when it's not called for). It's  
not that different than the whole LF/CRLF line-ending thing.

The real problem is that setting LANG won't help you on Mac OS X; set  
LANG to whatever you want and there is *nothing* that you can do to  
stop your filenames being normalized into decomposed UTF-8, short of  
dropping HFS+. You can use an alternative filesystem, but support for  
basically everything except HFS+ is suboptimal in Mac OS X at the  
moment.
