Interesting. Quite a lot of them do just drop the undecodable
filenames. The Java solution with replacing it seems to be a better
idea at first glance, but what if you then end up with two filenames
that are the same? Possibly replacing with the <?> character is a good
idea to notify that the file is there, but fail then fail to open it.
