Its generically for all string functions that could possibly be a
problem because they operate on ascii characters rather than our good
multibyte variety.

Ok, that sounds fine to me...I just don't want to get a bunhc of custom
if/thens all over the place to fix this for complex languages, right?

Snic, would you take a stab at implementing this so we have an admin
option, plus generic code as VS says? That would be a major help. I'm
