Hmm.

( Would it not be more "sane" to always use the default system encoding 
(i.e. UTF-8 in Linux) for pchar and auto-convert the string content ? )

After writing this, I suppose this is not possible, as there is no data 
area where the converted information should be stored. So we are out of 
luck wanting a sane solution :( .
