+convmv converts filenames (not file content), directories, and even
+whole filesystems to a different encoding. Though it's primary written
+to convert from/to UTF-8 it can also be used with almost any other
+charset encoding. Convmv can also be used for case conversion from
+upper to lower case and vice versa with virtually any charset.
+
+ATTENTION: Perl 5.10 seems to have a broken from_to() function so that
+convmv can not convert files to UTF-8 without using the --nosmart switch!
