It is not clear to me that building libxml2 with UNICODE defined is a
sound idea if libxml2 is not designed for that, but apart from that I
would agree, if the idea is that `xmlModulePlatformOpen` takes some
platform string you know nothing about, as opposed to, say, xmlChar*,
which you would know is a UTF-8 text string.
