There is, but this doesn't completely work. It only covers cases where 
they may be string literals in the code which are expected to be in 
ascii. It still leaves open the possibility of there being algorithmic 
problems (there are, for example, functions called things like 
utf8_to_ascii and so on -- clearly they are broken on an EBCDIC system, 
regardless of the code page you use to compile the code). I don't find 
this a satisfactory solution.
