Jan,

That is exactly what I was concerned about in the first approach (always do a UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion in gzopen when on Windows), hence why I tried to duplicate what appears to be the standard approach in Windows.  However I don't know enough to know what actual problems might occur.  What specifically might break in that scenario?
