I'm certainly happy to allow users to force a certain encoding, but I
think largely issue of encoding problems HAS been solved (at least on
Unixes) by locale and all the LC_* environment variables. I'm certainly
not an export on this stuff, though.
I just committed the following terrible patch to next, which should
properly find everyone's locale, if they have a locale. Mac users, I'd
love to know if this actually works for you.
