thanks for the input. In fact, it seems that perl will be able to do the job, directly in search-win-drivers.pl in its opening .inf routine. By default, perl opens files as UTF-8. But we can request to open it as UTF-16le, and in this case (of an UTF-16 file), search/match operations seem to be fine. No auto-detection is performed with UTF-16le encoded files, and an UTF-8 encoded file has a weird content if opened as UTF-16. So I think about opening files as UTF-8 (as already done), check its first bytes to see if UTF-16(le) is used or not. If UTF-16(le), close the file and re-open it as UTF-16le. It will cost some extras I/O, but we should retrieve the right information ;-) BTW, sourceforge.net has about 2-3 days of delay to deliver emails to unattended-devel ML these days ?!
