Unfortunately, this is something that would vary a lot, depending on which
operating system and editor was used.

Vim/Linux seems to autodetect that it is UTF-8 and edits and saves it
correctly. (This is where I originally saw the problem; some latin-1 encoded
text near the bottom of the sysprefs script was breaking the autodetection.)

I think as long as any other editor were set to save the file as UTF-8,
everything would be okay.
