I don't see why you're complaining about this on the MinGW mailing list,
or why you expect xmlParseFile() to accept a UTF-8 filename.  Windows
doesn't use UTF-8 for filenames, it either uses UTF-16 if you're using
the wide character APIs or the native "ANSI" character set if you're using
the narrow ANSI character APIs.  Since xmlParseFile() is only documented
as taking "const char *" argument that would suggest that you need to
use the ANSI encoding of the machine you're using.  If you're using a
Japanese version of Windows that encoding would be Shift-JIS.
