I explained it already at least two times but here we go again:

- uncomment the utf8 line in lib/encodings
- increase the file format number
- write revert_inputenc in lyx2lyx that changes utf8 to auto.
- make sure that generate_encoding_info.py uses the encodings that are valid
in 1.4, not the changed ones for conversion of the document contents to
utf8.

Since we can get it now for free it would be good to add all other encodings
that are currently supported by inputenc at the same time.
See also http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2927 for a related problem.

I don't understand at all why this is without hope. It takes a bit of time
to implement and test, but is still easy compared to the other hopeless
bugs.

If you are lazy you can of course leave out the file format change, but
since a reasonable conversion from utf8 to auto is possible I would do it.
