Summary: non-english chars in directory names not supported

Initial Comment:
German users have the directory "Startmenü" (start
menu) on their system, ScummVM displays the umlaut ü
garbled - possibly because no character for that
exists, so it just loads random stuff from that memory
position.

While this display oddity is surely just a minor
annoyance I think it *might* cause problems if you read
random data - maybe some really smart OS would detect
that as buffer/security problem?

Workaround might be to check for every value >max
supported character and replace it by _ or ? or similar
in display (not the string itself, or we can't access
those dirs anymore :-)
