Thanks for the patch. I can confirm that --iconv option works now
from iso8859-1 to utf-8 transfer.

It would be good to add link to convmv script into rsync --iconv 
documentation. convmv can be found from http://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/

If --iconv option is being added to existing, for example backup script,
one should prepare the destination file structure with convmv to prevent
unnecessary retransmission of "renamed" files. This is very important,
if there are characters needing conversion in top level folder names.
All files in such folders will be retransmitted due to renaming of the
top level folder.

Sami
