No, I don't have any technical problem using UTF-8.  I had already
converted THANKS to UTF-8 in an earlier patch, using iconv on cygwin to do
the conversion.  And cygwin emacs does a decent job with UTF-8, provided
that it is given the hint that a file is encoded.  But so far, cygwin
doesn't have any UTF-8 capable console, so viewing the patch with 'git
log' displays two bytes in Latin-1 rather than one character from a
Unicode font; but not a show-stopper from using UTF-8 on platforms that
are better set up for i18n.
