Using UTF-8 not 8859-1 for consistency is sensible, especially as 8859-1 is obsolete and effectively useless now (although I guess much of the '8859-1' in the kernel is 1:1 with 8859-15, which isn't so obsolete but is just as useless) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
