The old situation was: All widgetsets used their own encoding. The goal
is to use UTF-8 as *default*. The missing piece is the win32/win64
widgetset which is currently tested, so it is no yet enabled as
default. Probably UTF-8 will be enabled soon.
Of course the source editor *should* handle text files (including
pascal) in other encodings too. But this is not implemented yet.
An easy solution would be to add an converter to the codetools
load/save functions.
