CFString has API specifically designed for creating a CFString object from a filesystem path, for converting between the various unicode compositions and for comparing strings using Unicode. CFString relies on libicu for the heavy lifting (which is also built-in to the system).

I suspect using native API will be non-trivial thing given in mind bzr 
written in Python. If this API is not exposed as Python library, there 
need to write special wrapper. If this is ObjectiveC only thing, then 
there is double problem.

Patches are welcome, as usual.
