I just ran a trunk build from Xcode.  No patches for that Qgis SIP bug have 
been applied yet, so I had to do that ot my local source copy to get it to 
compile.  The PyQt bug mentioned there about utf8 *has* been applied to PyQt 
trunk.

2 ways to apply a diff: patch command and manually.  Since the patch is lines 
of text on a web page instead of a file download, this one is simple enough to 
apply manually, it's just deleting a bunch of lines.  Delete lines 268-318 of 
python/core/conversions.sip.
