I'm still inside the parser getting a few issues worked out. No major
changes have been needed thus far to the parsing code so I don't anticipate
any destabilization. But to be sure I am continuing to beef up my QA test
suite to raise the bar on insuring there is no destabilization from release
to release.

Character set related changes are still in flux. I am trying to decide
between having an event on the connection that handles this or to try and
just automate it all at the TIB_Column level and allow for individual
override capability at the TIB_Column level. Part of my trouble is I'm not
quite sure how to handle all the character sets and so it's a little bit
like flying blind.

I would greatly appreciate all those who use alternative character sets to
put forward how they would like to see IBO implement additional character
set support.

I have a sample app from Martijn that is helpful but if possible I'd like to
see some additional use case scenarios to draw insights from.
