Ugh.  Here's a similar patch for freeciv (but without the comments it 
obviously needs).  Does this work?  Are you sure we should use UTF-8 
here and not ISO-8859-1?

Test to see if the output of non-ascii characters on the server command 
line (like in "/list") is correct.  Try under UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1.
