[Qt-interest] QString::toLower() issues with two-byte chars

[Øyvind Vågen Jægtnes]

Thank you, they both worked like a charm!
I forget that not everyone are sitting at a UTF-8 enabled terminal ;)

But this brings up another issue that might come down the road. What
happens if someone runs this program in a latin1 terminal and inputs
the same types of chars? Is there a way to detect the encoding of the
terminal one is running at?
