[pLog-svn] umlauts / utf8 / moblog plugin

[Oscar Renalias]

This is a bit tricky, because we need to convert from the encoding
that the message is using to the encoding that we're using in the
blog. So if the message is encoded with utf-8 and the destination blog
uses big5 for chinese characters, we should perform such conversion.
It's not enough to just call utf8_decode, because the destination
encoding of the blog could be whatever...
