I'd hope that we could either cut and paste a character array or, better,
use libiconv to do the work for us.
#include <iconv.h>
iconv_t iconv_open(const char *tocode, const char *fromcode);
size_t iconv(iconv_t cd,
char **inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft,
char **outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);
int iconv_close(iconv_t cd);
In other words, use ICU to create a UTF-8 version of the latex file and
then pass this through iconv to generate a latin-1 encoding.
