As a side note: many users (including yours truly) really want to migrate 
their $HOME recursively from ISO8859-1 etc to UTF-8. Has anyone seen a 
good tool for this? I've written small scripts myself but never seen a 
program to do it. The problem grows worse when you keep legacy files on 
NFS shares and the like.

(I guess all the Swedes, German, French and Spanish with a legacy of 
files in $HOME have the same problem as me...)
