I prefer unified approach is better for php-i18n than splitting
some modules.
I think mbstring is better, although this module also
supports single-byte encoding like ISO-8859-X.
Some people might say 'wchar' is better choise,
because this module converts string to wide character internally.

If someone want to add some other encoding support,
he should add mbfilter_xx.c mbfilter_xx.h where xx means some
specific language like ja (japanese).

Anyway, because I am not original author of this module,
I must discuss to Mr. Tsukada ,the original author of jstring
about renaming the module.
