I made a quick XS hack that exposes those functions in 5.6.1 as well
(basically copied from the 5.8.0 sources). I called the module "UTF8".
Blegh.

Hmm. Seems I only did utf8::decode actually. the XS looks like this:

    MODULE = UTF8           PACKAGE = utf8          PREFIX = sv_utf8_

    bool
    sv_utf8_decode(sv)
        SV *sv

You can't get much shorter than that :-)

In the UTF8.pm file I made the call to bootstrap conditional on the perl
version, so 5.7 and greater just use the builtin function.

I won't make this into a CPAN module, as I plan to just switch to 5.8.0
as soon as possible.
