g_utf8_casefold in glib will convert UTF-8 encoded strings into a form
usable for comparison and collation.

g_utf8_strdown/strup.

Look at the section entitled Unicode Manipulation.

a case insensitive compare, you should use g_utf8_casefold on the
strings to be compared, and then use the regular g_strcmp function.
