Unicode Text export

Hi to the list,

I've been trying to export from the command line to Unicode Text without
much success. I'm using Abiword-2.4.4 with an input test file named
test.doc which contains some Latin-1 text and some Greek text, created
with OOo.

My locale is en_GB.UTF-8

My attempts and results:

$ abiword --to=text test.doc

This runs successfully, producing a plain-text file where all Greek
characters are replaced with 0x03F

Consulting the output from abiword --help:
-t, --to=FORMAT Target format of the file (abw,
                                           zabw, rtf, txt, utf8, html,
latex)
...I tried the following:

$ abiword --to=utf8 test.doc
AbiWord: Uch! Are you sure that you've specified a valid exporter?

I didn't manage to find anything on the Internet or in the documentation
(even tried skimming through the source but Abiword's source is not for
the faint of heart to fight through) - does anyone here have any hints
for me? (insults welcome if I'm just being stupid, of course)
