You'll need to do:

	$ apt-get install mule-ucs

That's supposed to enable utf-8 support, but I was unable to make it work 
after half an hour of fussing around.  Presumably people use this though.
My own text editor can't handle anything other than UTF-8, which has it's 
own set of problems.

Given that both the Gnome and KDE projects require UTF-8 support to
maintain translations, it doesn't seem a significant burden to require
UTF-8 support to read comments in the code.  Even without UTF-8 support,
any text editor capable of dealing with 8-bit characters should transcode
the file undamaged.

Think of it as a subtle way to encourage developers to migrate to UTF-8 
capable tools.

The code awaits a commit on my hard disk.
