[GroupDAV] Working on charset problem

[Mathew McBride]

Funny that, I've been coding up a fix for the same issue (also using 
commons codec), however, if you can make one which will also read the 
charset parameter, I'll include that instead. I've had other issues to 
deal with in the past few weeks, but I'll release what I've done soon as 
I also have some fixes for the client code (notably an issue with 
indented xml and long filenames being handled badly).

As for recovering from a deleted status file, if the client have an 
object which the server already has,  it _should_ get treated as a merge 
operation instead of a new item. Obviously that isn't happening so I'll 
add that to the list of things I'll have a look at again.
