I don't handle it on my side. I've got to check whether it works on ISO
systems too. And user feedback will be interesting :).

I'll try to reproduce it; BTW I've got to hunt some documentations about
encoding matters, too.

I know, but I've to find the suitable version of all them (binaries
and/or librairies, etc).

No, but writing a manpage would be :). (Even a very basic one,
describing the goals of the program, authors, etc.)

:). One-line description & multi-line description are welcome, just tell
