Yeah, that would be the "expected way", but i think that would break
backward compatibility, because zlib never contained a *W func, so all
programs up to this point expect the char *-only interface for the
base func name, so may contain code to convert the file name down to
char *.
Such an auto switch interface with #ifdef UNICODE would have to be
included under a new name.
