Summary: <cvs-checkout> ignores original files' encoding

Initial Comment:
It seems that the <cvs-checkout> task (or <cvs> with command="checkout") fails 
to retain the original encoding of the files on CVS:

We committed some files encoded in UTF-8 onto our CVS, however, when we use 
NAnt to checkout, these files lose their original UTF-8 encoding and become 
ANSI. 

If we try to <copy> with a specified (a.k.a. UTF-8) encoding, some of the 
characters are recoverable while quite a lot are lost permanently. Other CVS 
clients however(in our case Eclipse), handle it in the correct way.

We have tried to get more info on the scvs.exe that came bundled, but we found 
it somewhat difficult:

"scvs -H checkout" seems to require a CVS folder to be run in?

Any help, info, links, hints will be appreciated. Thanks.
