that's right.

i meant the lisp files, especially those that will contain unicode
tests (you need to get some unicode text from somewhere that you write
into the test pdf's). we could go by some (octets-to-string #(1 2 3 4
5)) expressions, but i think it's a lot simpler to agree that lisp
files are utf-8 encoded. sbcl reads them as utf-8 by default, and i've
got slime set up for that, too.

for anyone looking for slime examples:
http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=cl-wdim-environment;a=headblob;f=/init.el

alternatively we can annotate:

;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

but it's emacs only.

this is a non-issue while there's no unicode test and now that Marc
removed the non-ascii chars from the sources.
