Daniel mentioned xmlChar* in his original message and, AFAIK, xmlChar*
is supposed to hold UTF-8 strings just as libxml uses UTF-8 internally.

If this is true, neither LoadLibraryA nor LoadLibraryW work for any
characters outside the ASCII range.

I see that xsltExtModuleRegisterDynamic(const xmlChar * URI) uses
xmlChar so I suppose this is UTF-8. At last it calls
xmlModulePlatformOpen() but does not apply character conversion. To me
this seems inconsistent.

I also support LoadLibraryW because otherwise it is not possible for
Windows to load extensions with Unicode character names outside the
system locale.
