I don't think there would be a problem since our API is giving to the 
applications that use us UTF-8 encoded strings. Internally, we use 
mainly UTF-8 with the capacity to append to the UTF-8 string a character 
encoded UCS4 that gets converted into UTF-8 on the fly.

I have built the 0.10.5 fribidi.exe as statically linked executable and 
it worked well with UTF-8 encoded text documents. Sure, the UTF-8 was 
not displayed correctly unless one opens it in a web-browser or in an 
Unicode enabled editor, but this is really not a big deal, since libwpd 
does not do any GUI work.
