Hi,

While working on updating HooRex for python 3, I discovered that in development/snappy/snappy.info, there is an errant character in the MAINTAINER field. Could someone fix please?

To see the resulting error when reading that file in python, run the following python script in the development/snappy directory:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
with open('snappy.info', 'r') as f:
      txt = f.read()

The second character of the maintainer's first name : "Mário" is a LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE according to UNICODE, in an UTF-8 encoding (U+00DE1 or á).

Which leads to a request. In http://slackbuilds.org/guidelines/ it is written:

"It's recommended to use plain ASCII for all files that are being submitted to
SBo"

However, most languages use characters outside of the ASCII set. Why not allow
 an UTF-8 encoding, in which all maintainers names can be properly written?
