This ensures packages build on a UTF-8 locale system with non-ASCII character names can be installed on non-UTF-8 systems.

Signed-off-by: Allan McRae allan@archlinux.org ---

Arch Linux has been explicitly setting the C locale when packaging with devtools for a long time. I think it is best we address this at the source. bsdtar will give a warning when dealing with a file having non-ASCII characters during packaging, but the resulting package works.
