On second thought, std::{i,o}fstream should not be used to open files.
The cmsys::{i,o}fstream interfaces are not about compatibility, they
are about opening files on Windows using the wide character APIs by
converting from UTF-8 to UCS-2.  Sorry for the confusion.

I've reverted the std-fstream topic for now.
