Here's a patch for wv to allow import of Mac MS Word .doc files
that use accented characters. Test on the file provided by Ralph
above. I'm not sure whether it's a hack or not as I've invented
my own LID for the Mac locale. Also for a complete fix it looks
like wv should also have its own built-in iconv code for the Mac
encoding. Hope this helps though.
