Summary: option readfile cannot use multibytes

Initial Comment:
since 'option readfile' doesn't convert encodings
of the target resource file,
multibyte characters in such resource files
(mainly for Japanese TrueType font name on MS-win32)
are not interpretted correctly.

on MS-Win32 environment, I wrote a resource file:

*Label*Font: {Times New Roman} 40 normal

goes well, but when I use Japanese TrueType font
names replacing above 'Times New Roman',
the font is not loaded, and the output of
[.label cget -font] is in some binary(unreadable)
characters.

Hmm.  What should be the encoding of an option file anyway?
I don't recall seeing that defined anywhere, but it is quite
possible that it is instead *helpfully* defined (by the X
consortium) to be ISO8859-1...  :^(
