php5/mysqli/real utf-8 support

[oneOeight]

It would be nice if there would be some real utf-8 over mysqli (part of php5) with mysql 4.1/5.
if vB is set to utf-8, photopost still reads in latin1 from the database and messes up the umlaute in german or other unicode characters etc...

I hacked in mysqli and it seems to work ok here.
I don't know if I should post a patch file?

will do, after I figure out how
my colleague has the license registered on his email, and I can't change my profile to his email, since it's already in use...
