Comment(by duncan):
Ah ok, so perhaps we should just set that on stdout for the appropriate
cabal commands. Have to think about what to do for `--simple-output` and
similar flags designed for machine readable output. Tricky thing is that
if they're consumed by a program or directed to a file then we almost
certainly want utf8. If it's printed to the screen then we want the locale
encoding and the forgiving ??? conversion mode.
So ideally we'd just set this once in main in cabal & Setup.hs and have
the machine readable output commands do something special.
