For what it's worth (and coming at this from entirely the wrong direction) when I did my UTF8 hack of 1.1.8, I imported the utf8 functions from fltk2, but renamed them into the fltk-1 style, so that "utf8froma" became "fl_utf8froma" etc. (Parameter wise they are identical, so a bunch of #defines or similar could make them fully interchangeable.) As Jim says, I don't think the intent is to make them like fltk::utf8froma(...) as that's not what fltk-2 currently does anyway.
