Funny how he claims "reduced complexity".  That's definitely the most complex 
UTF-8 decoder I've seen.

Anyway, as I said on my own UTF-8 decoding post [1], not worth changing glib 
unless someone shows a real profile of a real application with UTF-8 decoding 
taking a measurable part of the total run time.
