How to deal with UTF-8 filenames?

[Marius Bakke]

Hello Guix,

I'm trying to package the Norwegian Bokmål Aspell dictionary, which
contains a 'bokmål.alias' in the source archive. This causes 'readdir'
to throw a decoding-error. Here is the backtrace:

phase `unpack' succeeded after 0.1 seconds
starting phase `patch-usr-bin-file'

This also happens in the 'patch-source-shebangs' phase which is
necessary for the 'configure' script to work.

Any suggestions for how to deal with this?
