Hi Antony,

Patch looks good, but have you ever thought of using 
iconv() or mb_convert_encoding() of mbstring extension that comes with 
Russian charset support? Currently PHP has seven different charset 
conversion function, namely cyr_convert(), utf8_encode(), utf8_decode(), 
imap_utf7_encode(), imap_utf7_decode(), iconv(), and mb_convert_encoding() 
and I'm not a big fan of the idea to add more complexity to those existing 
functions. That's why I decided to work on the one generic solution. I'll 
consider borrowing your patch in the ongoing work, but I'm not sure it 
will actually happen. All I can say for now is "stay tuned"..

Regards,
Moriyoshi
