 wrong, a proper mythtv DB would be totally broken if that step is
 ommitted.

 I've deleted the patch since it would cause severe damage on a correct
 mythtv DB. If the char set was already proper utf8 (against all mythtv
 setup instructions), changing the DB schema version manually to 1217 is
 the only needed step.
