partly works

conversion and autodetection

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: convmv
  
  Hello!
  
- if you convert to utf-8, files already encoded in utf-8 are skipped
- according to the manpage.
+ I have a filesystem with filenames encoded in iso8859-1. I try to
+ convert these names to utf-8 with convmv.
  
- This only works when you give the -t option as "-t UTF8" but not when
- you use "-t UTF-8" or "-t utf8" or similar.
+ "convmv -f iso8859-1 -t UTF8 ."  wrongly reports all files as being
+ already encoded in UTF-8
  
- All versions of the -t option will correctly convert filenames to utf8
- encoding, only the double-encoding prevention is problematic.
+ "convmv -f iso8859-1 -t UTF-8 ." does the conversion as requested (when
+ used with --notest of course). But the few files already in utf8 are not
+ detected but are double encoded.
