Thanks for that.  I'll study it properly in due course, but I've just 
had a quick look at your UTF8 functions for now.  I see that you use 
tables for decoding, and I'll have to see how the performance of that 
compares to my version.  For encoding you generate the bytes backwards, 
which is a trick that's unfortunately not available to an 
implementation that's templated on the output iterator, unless as a 
specialisation for random-access iterators.  Anyway, I'll investigate further.

Thanks again,  Phil.
