 State-Changed-Why:
     I'm finally checking in my patch to fix this problem.
     My patch changes gcj to use the current locale's encoding
     by default.  If it can't find the locale's encoding it
     assumes UTF-8.  The patch also adds a `--encoding' switch
     to gcj so that the default encoding can be changed from
     the command line.
     
     If you can try this, please do.
     If not, tell me and I will simply close the PR.
     
     The patch only works on systems with a working iconv.
     I don't currently intend to make it work elsewhere
     (though eventually I may by using libiconv).
