Comment (by jeffrey.beu.uz8yz6yl@…):

 Substituted occurrences of fopen in bjam/b2 source file with openfile.c
 which simply converts the arguments to wchar_t; prefixes the path with the
 voodoo of \ \ ? \ which allows very long path names in windows; then calls
 the _wfopen.

 Boost is now building fine.

 openfile is not meant to be a patch, just a quick fix that demonstrates a
 primitive resolution.
