Although the WindowsBackend uses unicode aware Windows file API
functions when processing events, it does not do so when searching
directories and their content when creating a new Subscription.
This results in invalid file paths stored in the subscription's tree
when the file name contains non-ascii UTF-8 characters and thus,
dropped events when they rely on the existance of a dir entry with the
valid path.
e.g. consider, we have a directory
dir/
, containing a file ``Using unicode aware search functions in BruteForceBackend::readTree
solves this.
