i'm sorry for the delay, here is a patch update [1/2] that should also
handle wildcard arguments on Windows.
its a bit hacky but glib's documentation recommend it and also i can
see this in other projects.

the new implementation is tested by calling:
".\subsurface.exe .\dives\*"
where ".\dives" contains some extra unicode filenames.

other OS should be once again unaffected, but i still wouldn't mind if
someone has a Windows XP installation to give this a test.

the second patch in the sequence remains unchanged and should also apply:
[PATCH 2/2] Use GLib's g_fopen() and g_open() when working with files
