Accidentally (or not) there is a Boost.Locale library that I had submitted for a formal review is stuck in queue waiting for the formal review.
It supports charset conversions and much more of Unicode handling.
And accidentally (or not) it recommends using UTF-8 anywhere and not to use wide strings...
That's fine as long as you realize that it may not be the most common usage of Unicode for everybody ( such as in Windows programming ).
+1 -- if there was a library that did easy conversion from std::wstring (usually the default in Windows now) to proper UTF-8 encoded std::string in Boost that would be *awesome*. I can totally use that library in cpp-netlib too. ;) I'm not sure, but maybe Spirit.Karma can handle something like that? I haven't checked yet but a string conversion/encoding utility like that would be very much appreciated IMO.
I am looking forward to the review of Boost.Locale.
