Follow-up Comment #3:

Thanks for this hint.

Working around all the issues with different character encodings is a pita...

An alternative approach might be to convert the file name to the locale
charset and revert to passing the file name to Magick++.
That would mean that file names are limited to characters that can be encoded
in the locale charset. (So e.g. images with Cyrillic letters in the file name
or path cannot be opened on a system with Western European locale.) But that
limitation is probably something we might have to live with...
Or we could use "get_ASCII_filename". But that doesn't work on all file
systems and might rely on having write access to any parent folder.

I'll have a look at it when I come around to it.
