You're going to introduce another way to deal with connection parameters.
If it's going to happen, it must be completely different and work for all properties. The correct solution is to create a notion of the "system charset" to be used as client charset. Worse, in Windows what should this system charset be in the case of console programs. It's not simple, console programs may be called by GUI's one in background. Also, sure, password must be converted to UTF8 when the user is created or it's password is modified, using the current charset to UTF8. Currently we already have the isc_dpb_utf8_filename, used inclusive for the password. It's the way one should pass it, and I don't think we should insert a hack here.
