== Revisited ==
Trying to import my phpGedView source into a subversion project balked on some UTF-8 error. I still haven't tracked it down, but it may actually be a svn bug in v. 1.2.3 rather than my locale or the source code of pgv. Anyhow, it made me realize that my system at home was not setup with UTF-8 as the locale. Here then are the many great resources that I found along the way to setting my home system to use UTF-8 for the locale.
