It's nowhere near as simple as it seems.  The old version of Bugzilla we have
is completely retarded and store the text in the database in whatever encoding
their browser happened to be using when they wrote the comment.  This means the
Bugzilla database currently contains a horrible mess of text in latin1,
MacRoman, UTF-8 and other codecs.  There is a script that in theory can convert
all of these to UTF-8 when upgrading to Bugzilla 3, but in my tests it did a
less than perfect job.
