- Alter connection details to be sent over UTF8 instead of Latin1 - this improves handling of special characters in passwords, improving Issue #890

 - Improve code in (the unused) [MCPConnection connectWithLogin:password:host:socket:] to match latest updates in the rest of the framework
 - Fix creation of new users
