why not adding the following to BIO_new_file()?

- BIO interface still uses char * (meaning latin ASCII 0x20..0x7F)
- BIO implementation calls UTF8_to_UCS16() on all platforms supporting
wfopen or _wfopen
- BIO implementation then calls wfopen / _wfopen with this UCS16 value
(sometimes known as WCHAR*)
- For Win32 and Win32_WinCE the conversion can be done with
FormatMessage() API. It's allways available.

... just my 5 cents.
