Somebody asked on lfs-dev about changing LFS to produce UTF-8 html.
I think we ought to do that, but arguably we have a greater need in
BLFS - the changelog entry for 31st March includes Igor's surname,
but the page is described as 8859-1 so firefox defaults to
displaying Živković instead of Živković (that can be changed in
View -> Character Encoding but it needs to be done for each page.

 The encoding is in each xml file, and also in some stylesheets.
The following looks as if it does the right thing:

 In the BOOK/ directory (trunk/BOOK), or svn copy trunk/BOOK
branches/unicode for any editors who want to try this -

find -type f | xargs sed -i
's/encoding="ISO-8859-1"/encoding="UTF-8"/'

 Note: this does NOT change the stylesheets, or the images, which
are still marked as 8859-1.  The regular html is now all unicode, so
firefox knows how to handle any non-ASCII characters. I don't have
the tools to attempt to build the PDF.

 Guys, I think we ought to do this, what do you think (for BLFS) ?
