Well, on WinXP and FAT32 I can still create both å and ä in the same
directory, and they both show up properly in Explorer.

In an even stranger turn, you can use the combining characters, and they
show up correctly in Explorer, and both can exist side-by-side. (This
also happens on Linux, though I'm not sure it always understands the
combining chars).

>>> open(u'\xe5', 'wb').write('foo')
>>> open(u'\xe4', 'wb').write('foobar')
>>> open(u'a\u030a', 'wb').write('with circle')
>>> open(u'a\u0308', 'wb').write('with dots')
>>> os.listdir(u'.')
[u'a\u0308', u'\xe4', u'a\u030a', u'\xe5']

Interestingly enough, Vim is able to open 3/4 u'a\u0308' shows up as two
characters, and give 'New File' at the bottom.

The other files it opens correctly, though it shows u'a\u030a' as two
characters, rather than combining them.

So maybe it is a Win2k issue.
