Maybe I am able to create a patch. But maybe you can give me a hint.

I have to configure somewhere (i.e. in sources.php), if the characterset 
needs base64 encoding for the cn field. But I'm not sure how to do this 
correctly. Maybe a simple flag? Or we _always_ encode those fields, 
which is a dirty way. There may be a way to do it without configuration 
by analysing each string.

But how can I easily find out, if a utf8-encoded string has invalid 
characters for cn-fields? If I understood everything right, there will 
be some none-ASCII characters in it which I maybe can find out.

Maybe we can discuss it a bit and then I'll take a look at the code. ;-)

Gruss,
    Ollie.
