| 
| 1) What exactly needs to be done? A task list with brief description
| would be appreciated.

- All output:
        - text (perhaps finished?)
        - latex (oh... can of worms)
        - docbook
- Perhaps reading of layout files, ui files etc. (I think that
  we can skip tese. l10n of these should be done through the
  po files.)
- Change the internal gettext machinery (message.C, B_, _) to
  use unicode.
- Cleanup, cleanup, cleanup.

| 2) How can I fix this endianness problem on windows?

First you have to enable some of the debug strings that I have turned
off manually... then you can experiment with using endian specific
UTF/UCS (iconv --list for info)

| 2-a) how do I convert the lyx file to unicode so I can load them in
| English rather than Chinese?

On window? pttrt. On linux use iconv:
        iconv --from-code=latin1 --tocode=utf8 --output \
        UserGuideUTF8.lyx UserGuide.lyx

| 2-b) how do I fix the display of inset labels to be in english on
| Windows? (I suppose this is not the case under linux?)
