This is not a problem of mine.
Conversion routines should take care of correctly mapping characters,
after that we have only byte/word comparisons. With UCS2 of course,
instead with utf8 it may get complicated, that's why I want to avoid
encodings that doesn't have fixed length characters inside samba code
when not necessary (eg. utf8 in vfs to write filenames in the
filesystem)

Simo.
