GRRR! The file encoding of fenv.h is "cp1252" because of 2 characters in 
this
line:

      Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manuals:

... part of a comment at the beginning of the file.

(the registered trademark sign (u00ae) is encoded as 0xae (cp1252), 
while it
  would be: 0xc2 0xae, in utf-8,
  the right single quotation mark (u2019) is encoded as 0x92 (cp1252), 
but in
  utf-8 it would be: 0xc2 0x80 0x98)

I intend to convert the file encoding of fenv.h to utf-8. Is that a 
"No-No"
or is it allowed? (I assume GIT will notice).

Henri
