That still has problems, since it can generate improperly-encoded strings in 
UTF-8 locales (if the inputs are improperly encoded), and can replace parts of 
multibyte characters with '?' in non-UTF-8 locales. Please try the attached 
patch instead, which attempts to address these issues. This is more along the 
lines that Bruno suggested, except it doesn't use mbsiter as I figured it was 
simpler overall just to use mbrtowc directly for this one thing.
