The "=3D" parts of the above URL are there because of "quoted
printable" encoding.  "=3D" is an equal sign, so just replace
"=3D" with "=" whereever it appears in the URL.

That just gives the URL of the patches page, though.

I think the patch you're interested in is probably the "UTF-8
Fix" one or maybe the "UTF-8 and memo support"

Download the patch (e.g. to /tmp/utf8.diff) and then do the
following:

$ cd /path/to/mdbtools/src/libmdb
$ patch -p1 </tmp/utf8.diff

patch should say:
patching file data.c

or something similar.  If it complains about rejected hunks or
something your version of data.c is too different from the one
the patch was generated against.

If it worked without complaints, compile mdbtools as normal.

I'm afraid I can't help with the other problem.
