My problem is that I put an ö in a reference in an Rd file, and now my
builds fail on some of my systems. I can switch which systems work and
which are broken, but I can not get it to work on all systems. I have
spent way too much time trying to figure out what is wrong. So, wrt "so
what", I need to choose between checking my packages on all the
different systems I use, or having an ö in the Rd file. I think my
problem is more complicated than having the relevant glyphs. I suspect
it has to do with having the same locale on all systems doing NFS
mounts, or on my cvs server, or something strange like that.
