I don't know posix at all; but its good to point out that the major DEs 
(KDE as well as Gnome) at least follow the position that having a locale 
with UTF8 means the files/dirs on disk are going to be utf8.

For example; if I select a system wide LANG of en_GB.UTF-8
any new dir will be written in utf8 on disk by konqueror (after next 
login :)

So I do propose that darcs follows the locale and use utf8 on disc if the 
locale specifies it to do so.
