One can do find+ recode magic now
The question is : - can this be automated ? - how can one recognise and unconverted fs ? - how can on guess the encodings(s) that have been used before on such an fs ?
You're assuming the situation is merely a iso8859-1 to utf-8 migration. Far from it. The core problem is everyone damn wrote what it pleased him without considering future readers.
