Here is Oleg Bartunov not Oleg Broytman :-) Several months ago we discussed
cyrillic support with mb code, but I was too busy and thanks to Oleg Broytmann
who kindly agreed to communnicate with you. Short question:
Will ALTER TABLE has support for changing of encoding for existing
data ?
Not really difficulties but your mb support is an elegant and flexible way to
do on-fly encoding support. rcode requires some fixed pre-configuration
based on host/net definitions.

rcode IMHO could be removed from the source if mb will works ok.
