no unicode characters in filenames possible

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to create CreateArchiveWithInfo() with non ASCI characters in the 
filename. Maybe the std::string filename parameter could be changed to a String 
class where a UTF-8 encoded string can be passed?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- No archive will be created, an exception will be trown.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Latest Alembic Version 1.0.5 on Windows7 64/32bit and OSX >10.6.

Please provide any additional information below.
- We need to load and save abc files from locations where the filepath contains 
unicode characters.

After a little research it turns out that UTF-8 encoding in a std::string IS 
possible.

Using HDF5 1.8.9 and this commit:

I'm able to read and write UTF8 files on OSX 10.6.8 in Maya.

This checkin did not change the library, only support of UTF8 encoded filenames 
in the Maya plugins.
