Which doesn't work if 'encoding' is utf8, I've tested :(( Vim barfs
in some latin1 characters I use in 'showbreak' (I don't know the Unicode
code point of the characters, but in latin1 they're 0xf7 and 0xbb).

I have this line as the first line of my "options.vim", but it
doesn't seem to work. Probably because I do the following: my /etc/vimrc
sources /etc/vim/options.vim, which is the problematic script and the
only one that has "scriptencoding" on it. Probably when vim is parsing
the file, it already has decided that the rc files are utf-8, since
/etc/vimrc has no latin1 characters on it.
I'll make a test... OK, it still fails. I've put "scriptencoding" at
the top of my vimrc file, and vim barfs in the same latin1 characters.
Again, thanks a lot for your help, you're great :))))
