Yeah well how about small steps first?

Since Brian has indicated several times that rewriting for 
Unicode would be a huge endeavour, maybe 'confirm 
everything' and 'delayed error messages' could alleviate the 
waiting. :)

And what's your take on verification? Can any of the tools you 
mentioned compare checksums after copying, and then 
optionally delete the source?
