Most Russian programmers I know do not run in a UTF-8 locale.

Actually, on Linux, people gradually switching to UTF-8 from koi8-r,
but on Windows MSCRT does not support UTF-8, so you do have much choice
here but to use Windows-1251. BTW, the upcoming Cygwin 1.7 is going to
have UTF-8 as the default locale. So, IMHO, UTF-8 is the only reasonable
choice for internal file name representation...
