fixuppandoc is notable because it reads generated files .. which
presumably contain non-ASCII UTF-8 characters.
For the other files, it seems strange to force the use of a charset
which is different from the charset of record for all our source files
(i.e. US-ASCII). I'm not saying that UTF-8 isn't a good choice, but it
seems questionable to be inconsistent.
