Managed mounts and cygwin 1.7

- Subject: Managed mounts and cygwin 1.7
As I understand it, cygwin 1.7 won't support the old 1.5 managed
mounts, but will have another filename encoding for non-ASCII
filenames. IIRC, I read that all code for the old managed mounts
has been removed from cygwin 1.7.
I'm just curious: How would users of managed mounts transform
their file(name) data to the new encoding, once they have
upgraded their cygwin version? Would they need to tar the
files _before_ upgrading and untar _after_ updrading? Will
there be a tool to convert the filenames?
If this is all clear already, please don't flame me - but
if not, then IMHO it's time to think about this.
Regards
Albrecht
