OK, I'm ready to send the patch series. I tested it on GNU/Linux and
on MS-Windows, and it passed all my tests.
I will send the patch in 2 parts. This 1st part stops wget from
treating codepoints between 128 and 159 as control characters. This
only makes sense with ISO-8859 encodings, which are used by a tiny
minority of systems nowadays. Both UTF-8 and the Windows codepages
have printable characters and/or meaningful codes in that range that
must not be munged.
If we want to preserve back-compatibility in this respect, then a
variant of Tim's or Andries's patch could be used here, but the test
in it should be inverted: only if the locale's codeset is
ISO-8859-SOMETHING, we should tread these codepoints as control
characters. All the other codesets should pass these codes unaltered.
