Re: [Po4a-devel] Bug#480997: pod2man turns UTF8 into "X"s

In fact it is not that far from being implemented.
What is missing is an option to modify the "convert" formatting option of
Pod::Man from pod2man.
Here is a patch to do that.
It adds a "convert" option to Pod::Man (set by default), and a --noascii
option to pod2man, which permits to disable the Pod::Man's convert option.
Thank you for the patch! It has a few misunderstandings (Pod::Simple
always converts the input character set to UTF-8 and handles all E<>
escapes internally, for example), but I think it looks like the right
approach, and it's much simpler than I expected.
I'm going to try to get a release out today that incorporates a version of
this patch.
