This fixes handling of non-ASCII splashscreen text for me (Debian
GNU/Linux). The XML input files don't technically *have* to be encoded
in UTF-8, as long as they properly declare the encoding and it is
supported by Expat. Of course, we prefer UTF-8 nowadays.
With this commit, startup tips and splash screen progress strings
("Loading scenery", "Initializing subsystems", etc.) can at last be
written correctly in languages that need non-ASCII characters.
The Expat doc is unfortunately unclear on its *output* encoding, saying
the following (expat.h):
The characters are passed exactly as they were in the XML document
except that they will be encoded in UTF-8 or UTF-16.
The only relevant header I can see in SimGear is
3rdparty/expat/sg_expat_external.h, which has interesting stuff around
XML_UNICODE, however it doesn't seem to take position.
I fear that whether UTF-8 or UTF-16 is used for Expat's output (and thus
for what easyxml.cxx gives us) depends on how it was compiled. Let's
hope everyone has it compiled for UTF-8 output...
