As everyone may know I'm on an encoding head hunt... but would like some
feedback on some changes coming soon.

For the CLI only... really.   The CLI often times uses the platforms
default encoding; which may or may not be desirable.  One of the reasons
is that the input or output may become corrupted causing training issues
or even usage issues for the operator.  I'm not sure if the | pipe
operator has the same issues; however a recent check of some converted
files proved that the platform encoding may be undesirable, especially
if the output encoding is unable to handle the input characters from
another encoding.  Internally to the classes and opening and reading
files don't have this issue; so, the libraries themselves are safe.

Any ideas on how we can test these things for the JUnit tests would be a
definite +++
