Thanks for that feedback!
That's normal however. Smartness can only be achieved when some files
are already utf-8 encoded. Smartness does not mean that convmv has a
christal ball implemented ;-). 8-bit encodings can not be guessed,
just a human being can see how the files are ocnverted correct. But
that's also wh convmv by defaults does *nothing* and an additional
--notest is needed to *do* somthing.
