Proposal: switch Wine source tree to utf-8

The Chinese resource files are already utf-8,
but I suspect lots of other files are in obscure character
sets, which complicates patch processing and display.

Just how silly would it be for us to bite the bullet
and set all source files to utf-8?
We'd need to recode a bunch of files once,
but after that, there'd be less confusion about
how to view and edit various resource files.

Not saying we should up and do it, just
throwing out an idea for discussion...
