Hi,

I'm seeing different default external encodings between JRuby and MRI,
which is causing me a bit of grief trying to convert some win32 stuff
to FFI.

ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20) [i386-mingw32]

C:\Users\djberge\Repositories\win32-dir>irb
irb(main):001:0> Encoding.default_external
=> #<Encoding:IBM437>

jruby 1.7.0.preview1 (ruby-1.9.3-p203) (2012-05-19 00c8c98) (Java
HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_23) [Windows 7-x86-java]

C:\Users\djberge\Repositories\win32-dir>jirb
irb(main):001:0> Encoding.default_external
=> #<Encoding:Windows-1252>

It seems MRI is using the console encoding by default for strings,
while JRuby is using the system encoding. Which is correct?

Park Heesob was kind enough to link me to a couple of related articles:
