The kicking and screaming is only if you insist on doing so, and you
don't really need to fiddle, no.

Editorializing aside, you _can_ use CFString along this route, but
aren't required to do so. You could, for example, just do this:
UniChar theLeafName[] = {'C','l','i','e','n','t','.','l','o','g'};
FSMakeFSRefUnicode(theParent, 10, theLeafName, kTextEncodingUnknown,
&theLeafRef);
Granted it's not the most readable thing in the world (and you end up
with magic numbers in your code), but you only have to do it once and it
saves you from CFString.

What hassle? Seriously.
