So, how am I supposed to package this? If I compile with UTF-8 enabled, it will break for users who hasn't set up their locales "properly" (whatever that means). But if I don't, those who want UTF-8 will have to recompile it and that's not very good either. Isn't it possible to check for this at runtime or anything? /Pelle
