 Couldn't find a ticket, so I've set up a ticket for the details I know
about.  A few things have maybe changed (e.g. libidn is no longer produced
in versions matching the glibc release, I'm hoping the stand-alone libidn
can be used instead).

 Before putting any of it into the book, we do need some sort of
consensus that it's the right way to go, which is why I'm posting here.
Please post any comments about why it is or isn't the right thing to
do in this thread, and keep the ticket just for details of what
can/could be done.  Thanks.

 People who can read my name below will know I favour UTF-8, but
using obsolete greenlandic glyphs is not yet a requirement! ;-)
