Title:
  Search results to passive users get sent to UTF-8 nick

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed
Status in Linux DC++:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The search results that LinuxDC++ sends to a passive user with
  accented characters in their nick do not arrive, as far as I can tell
  it's because the nick they are sent to is in UTF-8, but this is an
  NMDC hub using CP1252 encoding. The results are sent to the hub, but
  the hub does not send them on, probably because it can't find that
  user.

  LinuxDC++'s own nick also has an accented character, it is correctly in CP1252 encoding in the search results.
  Nicks used were "éjs" and "tëst_ldc" (these clients are only used for testing).

  The patch fixes it for me, by converting the nick from UTF-8 to the
  hub's encoding.

  This is with LinuxDC++ 0.698 bzr dated 20081212 / rev 281.
  It also affects DC++ 0.7091, at least when running under wine.
  OS is Fedora 10, using en_GB.UTF-8.
