For me, I'd love to be able to tell it extra datatypes to convert to  
utf8. The basic four are great, but since there are a lot of contrib  
and pgFoundry modules that have custom data types, some of which  
support multibyte text, I think it's worthwhile to be able to tell it  
the types (or extra types) on a per-connection basis.

But also ask in dbi-dev; I believe that Tim Bunce has some ideas about  
this stuff, as well.

Best,
