The answer is "UTF-8". What we want to do is have the all the strings on
the wire being in UTF-8, and then convert to the appropriate local
encoding in the client.  For clients based on gtk1.3, this would be UTF-8,
and we could display cyrillic, chinese, etc characters all as originally
intended.  Whereas, for other clients, we could do transliteration.

I will work on this at some point.
