After some quick discussion on IRC I simply converted everything except 
the .po files to UTF-8.

The use of non-ascii characters in source files is probably to be 
avoided.  There are only a few places where it's done and it should be 
easy to transliterate to ascii.  Unfortunately glibc iconv doesn't have 
very good transliteration (gnu iconv is better).  The following files 
need to be converted:

   file `find . -name "*.[ch]"`|grep -i utf

It's also interesting that some ascii files have CRLF newlines while 
others do not:

   file `find .`|grep CR

these should probably be fixed (except for the windows-specific files).
