I see, I hadn't realised this before.
Is it possible therefore to turn off the conversion filters? - we do all
the processing and conversion before sending the data to ifhp so there
is no real need for it anyway! I've had a look through ifhp.conf and
couldn't see anything obvious for de-activating these filters other than
emptying the file_output_match array (?), I'd prefer to do from the
command line if possible .....

A possibility I had considered, but I think I would prefer for them not
to be created in the first place - I may end up implementing it though
if nothing else works.
