But I did just discover that Lucene searches in some non-versekey modules fail because utilstr.cpp's wcharToUTF8() has not yet been coded. It's got "TODO: finish this logic" in the code.

I recently had to code a routine to convert from UCS4 to UTF8. IIRC, I modified the fontconfig FC_Ucs4ToUtf8 function. It's very readable and fast.
