replace most calls to strerror with calls to g_strerror. strerror will return a locale-specific string in the locale-specific encoding, which isn't guaranteed to be UTF-8. g_strerror will always return a UTF-8 string. I left gg and zephyr untouched, since gg doesn't include glib headers yet, and zephyr does something weird with a #define for strerror. Someone more familliar with those should take a look. And the win32 guys should check and see if I screwed something up, since they had strerror #defined to something else. This should fix #2247 (and maybe some mystery crashes)
