There is no absolute "correct", as a user may run any programs from the 
command-line, not just native Windows console programs, and their input 
files could be in any encoding. In any case, hardcoding windows-1252 is 
clearly wrong in non-European locales. Why not just set the locale for 
dos-semantic shells and leave it at that?
