New issue 322 by Grigand: Add support for parsing text files that contain a
BOM, or UTF preamble for protoc.exe input
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=322
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a new text file in Visual Studio
2. Enter a valid proto definition
3. Run protoc.exe on the input file
What is the expected output? Successful compilation.
What do you see instead? The following error message:
FileName.proto:1:1: Expected top-level statement (e.g. "message").
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
libprotoc 2.3.0, Windows 7
libprotoc 2.4.1, Windows 7
Please provide any additional information below.

I would be happy if it just recognized the UTF-8 BOM and skipped it for
now; however, full utf-8 support would be nice. If it's not a lot of work,
utf-16be and utf-16le would also be appropriate.
