[GRASS-dev] Character encoding of module i.atcorr files

[Maris Nartiss]

The offending line is a reference in the comment section:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/imagery/i.atcorr/computations.cpp#L1365

I browsed SUBMITTING file and didn't find any rules about source
encoding. As a supporter of Unicode everywhere, I would suggest to add
a requirement for source files to be in UTF-8. Upside - most of files
already are in UTF-8. Thus only files with symbols outside of latin1
would be affected.

Just my 0.02,
Maris.
