About the above, I have another idea: implement the equivalent
function with g_locale_to_utf8(). On that patch, I used
g_locale_to_utf8() because the locale-detection code depends on
system-type (for example, Posix has nl_langinfo(CODESET), but another
system must parse what setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL)'s returns).
