Hello,

Not sure if you added a call to zend_set_converter_encoding() in the
current version of tidy.c, but this function is declared as an internal
function and this call prevents the tidy extension from building as
shared.

Can we find another way of doing this or get the core guys to add ZEND_API
macros to the function?

Well, I just need some way to convert a unicode string to ASCII. Probably 
there should exist a specific function (or a global converter) to accomplish 
this. Anyway that function should be exported.

Nuno,

There is zend_unicode_to_ascii() now. Check zend_unicode.c. It will 
return `NULL` if string cannot be converted to ASCII.

Thanks Andrei.
I've already changed the code to use it. The windows builds should now be 
fixed.
