Summary:                    CMake GUI browser cannot handle Unicode paths
Description: 
The CMake GUI browser fails to interpret or preserve file paths that contain
unicode characters on Windows.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Open the CMake GUI and choose "Browse Source..." and select a directory that
contains unicode characters, such as "TestWXY►ΦΦΘΩδ▲ ↔". It will
appear in the text field as "TestWXY?FFTOd? ?", and it will be unable to read or
write files from that folder.

Additional Information: 
Perhaps it is assuming that the C standard library functions use UTF-8, when
they really only support ASCII or UTF-16.
