Not all of it yet - autotools stuff is fairly complete and
about half of the source files are gettextized.

I am currently working on the 'Invalid UTF8' problem.
Try loading about/about.html in Beaver's WWW tree and you
will see that Beaver refuses to load it because of the
'copyright' sign at the end of the file.

g_get_charset() is acting weird. This function is supposed to return
the current locale's charset, but it gives me 'ANSI_X3.4-1968',
a charset I have never heard of - and iconv() fails, too.
With ISO-8859-1 it works and the (C) sign is correctly converted,
but I guess we have to provide the user with a list where he can
select the charset he wants. Maybe also a 'Charsets' tab in the
prefs... or both (radio "ask me every time a conversion must be performed"
/ radio "always use this charset: " -> selection list of charsets).

What do you think?
