Unicode case conversion

Hi,

I need to convert a UTF-8 encoded string to all lowercase. I tried using
boost::algorithm::to_lower but it couldn't handle the characters in a
Glib::ustring (which are of type gunichar).

Is there any safe, portable, and *working* way to do case conversion
with a unicode string?

Regards,
Matthias

Ugh, forget about it... Glib::ustring has a member function to do that,
I must have been blind.

Sorry for the noise.
