BTW: If you do have mbstring loaded in your php it's very easy.
Simply set
   mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
somewhere ("lib/config.ini") and set

mbstring.func_overload in the php.ini or .htaccess to 7

.htaccess:
php_value mbstring.func_overload 7

The hugepatch comes from the fact, that not all servers support mbstring 
and strlen's are different in UTF-8 land.
We do support now, input from UTF-8 land (e.g. MS IE), but convert this 
input to our charset.
