Well, not all of the control codes can be converted, we still need some of
them:

Ctrl-G (07/bell), Ctrl-H (08/backspace), Ctrl-M (enter).  There's some
control codes you really can't touch.

Ctrl-F (formfeed) I remember seeing that to "clear" the screen for very
old terminal types.  

But, I'm good with my unicode/CP437 detection -- so this doesn't really get 
me anymore.  Actually, I've been going crazy with it -- I actually have it
swapping (C) for the unicode "\u00a9" &copy; copyright symbol.  

Take care,
bugz
