Huh, those crashes are interesting - I'd guess that it means we have a
platform-dependent dependency from Py_DecodeLocale on to Py_SetPythonHome in
order to locate the encodings module. If I'm right, that dependency would then
mean that embedding applications can only rely on Py_DecodeLocale to do "char
*" to "wchar_t *" conversions if they can also rely on the locale encoding
always being a builtin one that bypasses the search for the encodings module.
Perhaps we should be recommending temporarily doing 'setenv("PYTHONHOME",
home)' (and then reverting that after calling Py_Initialize so it doesn't get
inherited by subprocesses) as the preferred approach to handling platforms with
"char *" based native filesystem APIs, and adding such a setting to that
particular `_testembed` test?
