That would probably work as well. We'd have to decide what we'd try to 
convert from with iconv_open(). Utf-8 might be a safe choice. We don't 
currently use iconv_open() anywhere in the backend, though, so I'm 
hesitant to add a dependency for this. GNU gettext() uses iconv, but I'm 
not sure if that's true for all gettext() implementations.

Peter's suggestion seems the best ATM, though.
