Mmm, the way it is done looks wrong to me: there is no reason why the input and output charsets should be related at all. For the input, html2text should recognize the meta http-equiv tag, that should work for a lot of pages, else an input-charset option can be provided. For the output, the current locale's charset should be used (as returned by nl_langinfo(CODESET) after calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"")), that should work in almost all cases, else an output-charset option can be provided. Yes, that means conversions. But without that you can not put a sticker "utf-8 support", only "limited utf-8 support".
