[Box Backup] Danish and other special chars

Hi Gary,

Thanks for testing!

Good.

I checked this yesterday after I got regex support working, and it worked 
for me, but please do test as well.

There does not appear to be any logging of keepalives, unless you compiled 
the source in debug mode (I did not). I have added some for testing 
purposes.

I'm not sure either. Can you use a packet sniffer to see if the server 
resets the connection before, or during, uploading of the diff?

That's weird. On my machine, it correctly lists the non-English characters 
with "ls", and cd, restore and compare using those characters all work. 
Would you mind trying to debug this in your setup? Were the files created 
on the same machine where you are running bbackupquery?

Will test this and get back to you.

Perhaps not, but I think it was the default in Nick's code. I will look 
into changing it.

Same issue.

Interesting, but I don't expect people to switch between Cygwin and native 
builds often, so this is a low priority for me.

Probably, but I have no idea how to do that, can you advise?

Thanks again for your hard work in testing it!

Cheers, Chris.
