[wplug] removing/copying strange filenames

Sometimes I encounter filenames such as '???.zip' (where ??? are
characters in Japanese or something which my system isn't setup for)
or stranger ones like:

'file\\/name/\/'
'---file --- name "
'(Ebook) Linux Gnu C Compiler'
'  ,  file -- name'
',,, (file) | =name='
'[file name]'
'%%file - name%%'

What is the   best way to handle these files in terms of removing or
copying them to a more sane filename?
