Proposed patch

Hi Vincent,

  You can achieve the desired decoding by setting the character width
  on the command line, like this:

    % echo abcdéfghi | ./binutils/strings -e S
    abcdéfghi

  I am attaching a patch which changes the default encoding based upon
  the setting of LC_CTYPE.  Please could you try it out and let me know
  if it works for you.

Cheers
  Nick
