Attached is a script that may help you batch convert your files from
ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.

Make sure you have the 'iconv' command on your system.

to use it on your $HOME, do:

mviconv -r --from=iso-8859-1 --to=utf-8 *

which should recursively transcode filenames from ISO to Unicode at
once.

(and send me your credit card number, mbwhauahahahahaa)
