I have been looking at your work. Would it be usefull for converting 
upper,lower case for non ASCII charaters ?

I have been trying to use those functions in :
<boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
But they don't seem to work for my utf-8 strings. I tried with different 
locales, but that doesn help. Seems I need a locale that defines all the 
facets for converting between UTF-8 upper- and lowercase characters.
I was thinking, perhaps you library could be used for that somehow ?
