...and I've added an item to the "Portability" section of the  
README.developer file saying "don't use non-ASCII characters in source  
files".

Development environments don't all use the same character encoding; on  
UN*X, more and more systems are going with UTF-8, but LANG etc. could  
still be set for a different encoding, and, on Windows, I don't know  
whether it's possible to get the compiler/IDEs/etc. to support UTF-8 -  
UTF-16, perhaps, but I don't know what UN*X compilers/editors/etc.  
would support that, and I have the impression that if a file isn't  
UTF-16 it's some non-UTF-8 code page.
