.wml files in UTF-8

[Lorenzo Cappelletti]

Hi everybody,

long since I worte here!  What are you up to?

I go stright to the point.  I wrote a small Perl script which tries to 
help a translator to migrate their pages to UTF-8.  I know from the last 
thread we had on this subject that not anybody agrees with me, but I 
strongly believe that UTF-8 is the right way.  In the end, everything 
will be UTF-8.

I know that there might be a few text editors which doesn't support 
UTF-8.  I've got instructions on how to enable the support for it for 
both (X)Emacs and vim.

Hopefully this small script will resurrect this PR and close it.


PS: the script misses just on feature, IMO.  It cannot convert HTML 
entities to UTF-8.  Does anybody know of a Perl module that deal with 
this problem?


Hint on how to use the script: copy the utf8msg file to the bin/ 
directory of the site tree and run "bin/utf8msg -l xx index.wml".  Try 
--help for further explanations.
