[TxMt] more encodings

[Robert Deaton]

I've never had any problems with accented characters in UTF-8 on any gecko 
browser (firefox for my main linux box, camino for mac) although I've never 
tested PC browsers or Safari. Personally, I'd highly recommend that everyone 
uses UTF-8, because after working on a project for internationalization, 
I've realized that trying to detect and support even a few charsets is a 
real pain in the you-know-where. iconv works really well at reencoding data, 
so maybe give it a shot.
