[PATCH] mysqlhotcopy: utf8 I/O layer

On rhel3/perl 5.8 (for eg), mysqlhotcopy when copying a small index file would say:
"Can't read index header from ..." because the value returned for $length is < 1024.
But if the filehandle was open()ed as a UTF-8 encoded file w/Unicode characters,
read returns characters not bytes...

The below patch works on the above platform and is backward compatible too.
Thanks,
Mike
