#690: Accept source files in encodings other than UTF-8

We need to support at least Latin-1, for backwards compatibility.
One possibility is to run iconv as a preprocessor. Alternatively, call
iconv directly from the compiler. What about Windows? Should there be a
pragma specifying encoding, or take it from the locale, or a command-line
flag, or all three?
