Summary: CQPweb: non-UTF-8 (ie Latin-1 and other 8-bit codepages)

Initial Comment:
This is best accomplished by an (optional) filter at the CQP interface level, which switches (UTF-8) input from the web-scripts to ISO-8859 input for CQP (or, obviously, not) and then does reverse translation with strings returned from CQP.

This would need to be governed by a per-corpus setting that is passed to the CQP class upon calling the __construct method and becomes part of that class's setup, being checked by the CQP::execute() method (and any others that pass text back-and-forth).

Every script's call to CQP::__construct() would have to be modified for this.
