I've just realized why life was going so well for me.  My operating
system is currently set to:

LANG=en_CA.UTF-8

But sheesh, one can't depend on people having the OS setup in a
particular way.  Please forgive my naïveté!  :-p


Our build scripts ultimately end up calling "javac".  We should make
sure all calls to "javac" include the "-encoding UTF-8" option.

Meanwhile I'm going to fix my recent contribution to clean up lines such
as this:

DEFAULT.verify("花子.co.jp", x509);


yours,

Julius
