Here is the existing patch which applies pretty cleanly on 1.8.1.

I attempted, once, to wrap the Sword calls the way you propose, but at the
time my knowledge of UTF-16 and file pointers was woefully inadequate to
get it right. The Windows native file calls only speak UTF-16, while their
standard "open" methods only speak CP-1252.

Thanks for tackling this!
