This patch makes no sense. ANSI Windows function expects strings in ANSI 
charset, not in UTF-8, so this patch does not work anywhere on Windows. 
 File names can contain extended character even under Windows 95 (in 
fact even under DOS).

If you really (but IMHO it's not important for a game library) want to 
it correctly, convert it to U_UNICODE and the result pass to the 
WideCharToMultiByte with first parameter CP_ACP and then the result pass 
to the _stat & co. functions
