Description:
Provide the functionality to convert from the charset 'eucjp' to 'utf8'.
The customer has to manually convert their CVS root to 'utf8' before using P4Convert.
If they do not do this the archive files seem to be converted without issues, but metadata (I.E changelist descriptions) is garbled.
Converting the data manually takes time on top of the conversion process, so they would like P4Convert to handle this as part of its conversion process.
