These ini settings aren't necessary anymore if you enable utf-8 support.

These are stored in the preferences. Should be fixed now.

This is intentional. As you may have noticed only the bookmark
titles/descriptions are affected, the categories should be encoded correctly.
The reason for this is that all bookmarks from a category are stored in a
serialized format. That means that no conversion to the database's charset
is necessary.
Though it might be possible to converts the descriptions charset I decided
that it doesn't make much sense. The side effect is that it only works if
you create new bookmarks. Old bookmarks are broken.

PHP (if not otherwise configured) expects scripts to be iso-8859-1 encoded.
I don't see a way to include scripts that have a different encoding than the
"normal" scripts. 
If anyone knows how/if this is possible I'd appreciate a solution for this
problem.

This should work now too.
