idna_convert is a mystery to me: the PHP4 version is undoubtedly completely
broken and has been for some time.

= no idna_convert.

The best guess I have is http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/5845.html is
also in the include path.

Sigh :(

Looking at the construction even confuses the hell out of me:
    /**
    * Constructor
    *
    * @param  array  $options
    * @access public
    * @see    setParams()
    */
    function Net_IDNA($options = false)
    {
        $this->IC = new idna_convert($options);
        return $this->IC;
    }


No where in the base class does $this->IC get used.

I've removed it in r300837 ; which will probably Destroy The Universe.
