I guess I didn't understand how are file names dropped into a Cygwin
program encoded?  Are they in UTF-8, per chance?  I assumed that in
the Cygw32 build they will be in UTF-16, like for native Windows
programs, but maybe that is wrong?  Or maybe we should do something on
Cygwin to announce that we support dropping files?

Did dropping a file or a directory on a Cygw32 Emacs work in previous
versions when the file/directory had a non-ASCII name?
