I think it would be very bad, potentially disasterous to have open() and
fopen() taking different parameters for the filename.

(Last time I checked [and I wrote some of the code for this] GTK+ 2.0 will 
be taking the policy, that all filenames are in UTF-8, even though some
other things will undergo locale->UTF-8 conversion, unless this is
specifically requested with something like G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1). But I
don't know if this has changed.
