See http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cpplib.html

for some of the issues.  We've not yet decided how to specify
charsets; I doubt we will attempt auto-detection.  #pragma or a
command line option or an env variable or all three is more likely I
would think.  Possibly magic comments, but I don't like the
implications there.

taihen desu ne :-)
