Well, UTF-8 is something I, personally, absolutely don't need - and don't want!
So any implementation of UTF-8 in VDR will, first and foremost, have to be
_completely_ enclosed in #ifdefs, so that a "clean" version of VDR can be
compiled ;-)

That said, there will be no UTF-8 support in the official version 1.4 of VDR.
Maybe later, but it has no big priority for me...
