I already got it from Vincent and applied the patch. But:
- diff doesn't grok unicode.
- "joe" doesn't grok it either.
- "kate" & "kwrite" - no grok.
- PFE (Windows) doesn't grok it either.   
- Apparently vim converts to plain ascii before editing.
- Last but not least: The FPC Compiler also doesn't grok unicode :-)

So much for unicode :/
