Especially when reading the user's name from getlogin, getpwuid( $< ), or Win32API::Net::UserGetInfo. These functions likely return values encoded for the current locale, so encode from that -- or at least try to.

Use Encode::Locale when reading full user name from the OS.

Not just the username (login), but the full name of the user. Meant
to do that before, but kind of missed that in 88b7e44 (issue #107).
