<pre>A frontend like glib during string conversion from UTF8 to UTF16-BE inserts the
unicode marker and when the input string is empty, then the output consists of
just the unicode marker which prevents PDFDoc::setDocInfoStringEntry() from
detecting that in reality it's an empty string. It may potentially occur in
other places, so I think it should be fixed in PDFDoc::setDocInfoStringEnty(),
not in the callers, since converting an empty string to just the unicode marker
seems like a valid behavior to me and in a sense such a string is really empty.</pre>
