How do you do that:  "change the text encoding"?

I see that the problem is due to accented characters in authors names
in the top comment block in each of:

gtk-3.0/xfce_engine.c
gtk-3.0/xfce_engine.h
gtk-3.0/xfce_style_types.h
gtk-3.0/xfce_theme_main.c

Indeed, the issue was with the characters being in ISO-8859-1(?) but
the python script that was processing the file could only deal with
UTF8.

This problem popped up before in another package (same author's name
even, IIRC) but I forget how it was solved.  The same solution will
probably apply here.
