Yes, I'd looked at using UCS-2LE and BE.

However, I'd spotted at byteorder is always set to LE (as shown in this 
patch too):

  	camera->pl->params.byteorder = PTP_DL_LE;
+    if (camera->pl->params.byteorder == PTP_DL_LE) {
+        camloc = "UCS-2LE";
+    } else {
+        camloc = "UCS-2BE";
+    }

byteorder isn't altered anywhere else that I can see.

pkgsrc is frozen now for 2007Q1 anyway; I'd need to get permission to commit 
this (plus I'd like to test it on a BE and LE machine first).

Leave this with me.

Thanks,
