isoinfo UTF-8 support

The attached patch adds UTF-8 support to isoinfo. (This becomes the default,
but can be also chosen by "-j utf-8" or "-j default").

I didn't do proper iconv support, neither used features from the iconv patch.
That one seemed to be a little bit overkill to me (I guess no-one should need a
charset nowadays that is neither UTF-8 nor supported by mainstream isoinfo).
And furthermore that iconv patch does reverse converting (whatever to UCS-2,
while here we'd need UCS-2 to whatever). So this approach would have required
much more work and most likely altering the iconv patch. Hence I chose to
create a quick and dirty hard-coded UCS-2 => UTF-8 conversion which hopefully
covers 99.9% percent of the cases where isoinfo was buggy so far.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

The process we're following is outlined here:

We will be following the process here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this
doesn't happen again.

Dear "Bug Zapper" or whoever reads this,

I'm pretty sure the easiest way to get rid of Bugzilla entries is to wait two
and a half years without any comment, and then just claim it's most likely
obsolete. But please think for a moment, which one is more important for you: to
get rid of Bugzilla entries, or to actually get the bugs fixed?

If you need any kind of clarification or really _more_ information to help fix
the bug, I'm happy to provide them.

However, apparently so far you've done absolutely nothing with this bug
(probably haven't even read it), but you're asking me to perform again the very
same steps that I've done a long ago -- I think it's just pretty unfair.

I don't have current Fedora and don't plan to investigate the effort and time to
do something for you that I've already done once, especially knowing that in the
mean time there's nothing you have done with it.

This doesn't mean the bug is gone. Unless someone has explicitly done something
that fixed this bug, it is still there.

Please don't close the bug, unless _you_ have verified that it's already
resolved. Thanks for your understanding and best wishes!

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

The original isoinfo has proper UTF-8 and iconv support.
Just use recent original software from:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

As mentioned before, the original software does
not have the problem mentioned in this bug report.

The original software did introduce working UTF-8 support
34 months ago. If RedHat did publish the original software
instead of the questionalble fork, many users would be happy.
The original cdrtools software fixes all "cdrkit" related 
problems in the RedHat bugtracking system that are not 
caused by bad media or by a Linux kernel bug.

See cdrecord.berlios.de

Sigh... Great to see that none of the Red Hat folks bothered to do anything with this bugzilla entry in the last 45 months (3.75 years)... Not even a single "verified" or "tried but could not reproduce" or "checked: already fixed in mainline" or "will look at it next month". Nothing. Absolutely nothing. (Unless Ms. Bug Zapper turns out to be a human.) I swear, it's getting even worse than Debian. Nevermind...

(Jörg: just in case of doubt: this comment was not addressed to you. Thanks for the mainstream solution.)

resetting ownership of bug

assigning to correct component

Did you try isoinfo -R -l -i foo.iso or isoinfo -J -l -i foo.iso? Maybe it will help read utf-8.

As mentioned before, the illegal fork that is distributed 
by redhat does not support UTF-8.

If you like to get working UTF-8 support, you need to 
upgrade to the original software at:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.

Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This EOL state change does not affect the bug as long
as Redhat uses an EOL'd fork instead of using the original 
software "cdrtools". The problem named in this bug report
does not exist in the original software, it will continue to
exist in the fork.....
