Bug: file name completion with Chinese charactors doesn't work well on windows

[WU Yue]

Hi list,

If I :set encoding=utf-8, then the file name completion with Chinese
charactors doesn't work.

I use utf-8 instead of the default encoding (cp936) on windows, the
reason is that, encoding utf-8 can distinguish Chinese punctuations in
word motions.

Platform: Windows XP.
Affected version of vim: all versions

How to produce:
1. set encoding=utf-8 in vimrc, then restart vim.
2. creat a new file with Chinese name:
:call mkdir("c:/中文名/中文名2")
2. At a vim buffer, insert text: c:/中, then try to complete it with
<C-x><C-f>, completion will say: Pattern not found. However, c:/<C-x><C-f>
work.
