Bug #3975: German Umlaut in environment variable breaks usage of FileUtils

 Hi,
 
 when having a german Umlaut (��, ��, ��, ?) in an environment variable, the usage of FileUtils seems to break, because it can't handle the conversion to UTF-8.
 
 Example:
 ENV['USERPROFILE'] is "C:\\Users\Name��"
 
 Using:
 path = ENV['USERPROFILE']
 FileUtils.cp_r "#{path}/blah/" "#{path}/blah2"
 
 results in "fileutils.rb:1247:in mkdir "\x81" to UTF-8 in conversion from Windows-1525 to UTF-8 (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)" because the "��" can't be converted.
=end
