[Libcdio-devel] [PATCH] UTF-8 support

[plaum]

Hi all,

attached is a patch (plus 2 sourcefiles), which adds utf-8 support and
a better (i.e. more generic) charset conversion:

- Define a type cdio_utf8_t (== char), which denotes UTF-8 strings.

- Routines for converting character sets: Either using a character
  set converter (which can be used for multiple strings) or via the
  functions cdio_charset_[from|to]_utf8(). These reoutines catch the
  E2BIG error and reallocate the returned string, so you'll never need
  to know the maximum length of the destination in advance.

- Removed all occurrences of iconv from iso9660_fs.c and replaced them
  by cdio_charset_to_utf8().

The files utf8.h and utf8.c belong to include/cdio/ and lib/driver/
respectively.
Testing this can be done with iso-info and a Joliet CDROM.
If there are no major objections, I'll commit this by the weekend.

Cheers

Burkhard
