[aur-general] Recommended Encoding for PKGBUILDS?

[Ray Kohler]

I have one: dvdwizard. Look at the contributor's name in the first line. If
I download it, I can fix it, but when I upload it again, it becomes broken
in just the same way. I'm using utf-8 across the board. This only appears to
affect the PKGBUILD viewer - comments are fine.
