If you want a decent free text editor on Windows, the open source
Notepad++ does a very nice job. It also adds an "Edit with Notepad++"
to the explorer context menu :)

As far as the implicit BOM addition itself goes, reindent.py and
reindent-rst.py could probably be updated to check for it, but the
miscellaneous files (like ACKS) are likely to continue to need manual
checks.
