I strace'd the jar process, seems like it tries to open the file
using UTF16 encoding, instead of UTF8.

Also I made a simpler testcase:
-----------------------
import java.io.*;
public class UTF8Open {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        String fn = "Tekstikäyttöliittymä.class";
        try {
            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(fn);
        } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
    }
}
-----------------------

Filename encoding should be get from LANG/LC_* environment
variables.  Seems like kaffe/classpath ignore those ATM.


Looking more into it, problematic spot is in Classpath's
Java_gnu_java_nio_channels_FileChannelImpl_open(), which uses
JCL_jstring_to_cstring for filename conversion.  There should
be something locale-aware.


All this is only for open(), there is also directory read
which I havent looked and zipfile i/o, which seems to force
UTF-8 so it may be ok.
