charset code conversion in I/O

[Hidetoshi Tajima <hidetoshi tajima eng sun com>]

Hello again,

By switching GTK+ over to UTF-8, I wonder how legacy, non-unicode character
set encodings will be taken care of.

Will GNOME or GLIB's I/O API-s perform code conversion from/to UTF-8
just as do Java's Reader&Writer or Mozilla's chardet modules?

What is the backend library implementation? libiconv, or can it be
pluggable?
