[TYPO3-english] Charsets in mysql

[Tomaz Zaman]

Tried that, but i don't think i have the right tools for that.

And other things get broken if i do that (templates mainly)
That said i would only need to convert fe_users, pages, and tt_content 
tables, but as i said, the tools i found only change charsets and 
collations, but none actually convert the data
