David, ever since a house fire five years ago I haven't had a 'nix
machine in the house and all of my 'nix books went bye bye too.
You seem to misunderstand the problem. It is not a Windows user who
knows what characters are illegal in 'nix names but a 'nix user (the
shared routine being used by gnucash assumes that it should be checking
for characters illegal in a ('nix) name -- in other words, that this
shared routine isn't going to be used by an application in another
environment).
To write this takes somebody familiar with the rules for what is illegal
in a 'nix file or directory name.
