It's even simpler than that.  You just have to change most of the
QString::toAscii calls to QString::toUtf8.

My changes are committed.  I've tried to test everything I could but
more extensive testing would ensure I've got everything.  If you see
question marks instead of extended characters anywhere, please let me
know.
