some of your input data may be in other encodings, not UTF8, for
instance, LATIIN1. if you can identify these, and use SET
CLIENT_ENCODING=... at the appropriate times, you should be able to
import from the various data sources.

otherwise, you might have to run the data through some sort of filter
before you feed it to postgres, I dunno. I'm pretty sure 0x82 is not a
valid code in UTF8.
