Before my i18n()ed brain explodes, I'd like to know why local8Bit() is
being replaced by latin1(). This is mostly because I've been
semi-religiously replacing all the latin1() calls in my app with
local8Bit(), including in code that saves things stored in QStrings to
disk or char[] buffers. Since I haven't run across a ru_RU localized Palm
Pilot yet :) I can't possibly check what's going on and whether I need
local8Bit() or latin().

Michael, could you possibly take a minute and explain why this is The
Right Way (tm) and why local8Bit() doesn't work?
