Libxml2 only works in utf-8 internally.  Gtk-2 and Gnome-2 also only
work internally in utf-8.  If gnucash v2.0 doesn't work internally
purely in utf-8 then that's a bug and should be reported/fixed.  (Not
counting the few routines that must convert to/from a user's non utf-8
locale, like the LANG parsing routines.)
