[cairo] [PATCH] script: More compatible with C89 and VC++.

[Bill Spitzak]

That sucks. That may explain why in a previous library the solution
was to add complete replacement functions for all the File I/O that
did UTF-8 to UTF-16 translation (actually it did whatever the system
did but it was assumed to be UTF-8) and then used the wide character
api for all this.

Obviously another bad decision by Microsoft...
