Comment (by sylvain.joyeux):

 The parsing of Ruby files is governed by the current encoding (i.e. LANG).
 Unfortunately, I believe that it is the right way (but we could discuss
 it). If we switch to UTF-8 and people have edited their files using non-
 utf8 characters, we'll get the same issue.

 For the headers, it seems that most compilers assume UTF-8. I'll change it
 to that.

 In any case, using force_encoding is WRONG. The right way to handle this
 in Ruby is to properly set the encoding on File.(open|read|readlines).
 Which is something ruby 1.8 did NOT support, meaning that we had to wait
 for 1.8 being phased out to start adding those (which I did)
