Re: [mdb-dev] Segfault when listing tables and problems exportingtables

[<br...@br...>]

No UTF-8 in this release, however it may show up in a later 0.6-pre
release.  Hardly anyone has asked about it, so it wasn't high on my
list.  I may try to sneak it into the -pre2 release now that I know
someone is actively interested.

There are a couple big issues.

1) We don't know how to tell what codeset the database file is encoded
in.  This is not a problem for Jet4 since everything is UCS-2 LE.
2) iconv introduces a new dependency which needs to be looked for in
configure, and my track record on confgure.in changes isn't exactly
great so I don't want to do it right before release. 

The actual code is fairly simple to implement (I did the same thing
with FreeTDS a few years back).
