Bug Description

Get the latest development source of today with bzr.
In cygwin 1.7 (Windows Vista SP1 Business), sys.getfilesystemencoding() returns None and causes problem at line 993 of genutils.py: ipdir.decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding()).
Can't tell if this is actually a bug of cygwin or python.
However, it seems the code in genutils.py may probably be better not to assume sys.getfilesystemencoding() always returns sensible value.
