Thanks, I'll fix that.

Thanks for the patch, but I won't change the file format to UTF-8 as
it'll make editing the files harder for me and I see no particular
reason why text files should be assumed to be encoded in UTF-8 by
default.  (Not to mention that CLISP isn't even fully supported.)

What we can do to fix this is:

1. Change the name to simply "Luis Oliveira" if that's OK with Luís.

2. Add an encoding declaration (an Emacs file local variable) for
   ISO-8859-1 in the first line of the file.  LispWorks, for example,
   will observe that.  Don't know about CLISP.

Cheers,
Edi.
