I'm wondering if we couldn't get rid of that strlen call.  These
functions already get a Windows path.  This path is constructed by a
call to path_conv::check().  check() already scans the path so it
should be simple to add a length field to path_conv, which could
be used when calling the IOThunkState constructor.

Right?  Wrong?
