[Gtk2hs-devel] darcs patch: Fix regression where Cairo crashes on UTF-8 text

[Spencer J. <sp...@we...>]

I noticed a regression where several Cairo text functions fail on UTF-8 input,
this patch restores the previous functionality.  I've copied the withUTFString
function from glib to avoid any extra dependencies.

One minor issue is that glib is LGPL and Cairo is BSD3, meaning we need the
copyright holder's permission to make this modification.  Axel Simon is listed
as the copyright holder of System.Glib.UTFString.


Cheers,
Spencer Janssen
