Hello,
one of my applications is named r�pertoire.
Automake chokes on r�pertoire_SOURCES and such.
I've created a quick fix (appended below), maybe it should be reconsidered
which character values can be treat as valid.
The system should adapt to the people and their language; the opposite is what
Unix has been about 30 years ago, and I hope we've learned from its
misconceptions.
