I did this because I have no easy way to input UTF-8, and because I am lazy, and because I did not know how many times this patch has to be revised.

Apart from that, it seems that the checking of UTF-8 is actually quite simple, and we could even copy it from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/utf8_check.c, where the check you proposed is included.

But I had enough of UTF-8 for a day.

Ciao, Dscho
