[PATCH 0/5] Assume UTF-8 encoding for localedef input files

[Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>]

This is a backwards-compatible change because of two localedef bugs that
cause bytes outside the ASCII range to produce unpredictable results:

  If char is signed, conversion from the assumed ISO-8859-1 input format
  to a UCS-4 codepoint does not produce the correct result.

  If the output character set is not overlapping ISO-8859-1 in the
  characters used in the locale, the required character set conversion
  is not applied.

This is why I think we can switch to UTF-8 without impacting backwards
compatibility, and there is no need for an option to restore the old
behavior.

Tested on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

Thanks,
Florian
