FYI: the patched file (utf.c) which I now use for TortoiseSVN can be
found here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/trunk/ext/build/utf.c

Note: it does not work if conversions are needed from/to another locale
than the local one. But since UI clients usually only convert to the
current locale from/to utf8, that's not really an issue.
