Sorry I wasn't clear everything in that directory has been changed into UTF-8:
r228991

For subdirectories it is less a problem as LANG is defined in each files to
state the locale and then calendar(1) will itself switch to the defined locales.

That said nowaday, most of the users of non ASCII countries are using UTF-8
only so if it was me I would rename all the ISO8859* calendars into UTF-8 ones
and convert the locale to UTF-8. but hey :)
