utf8script 1.0 is released

["Martin v. Löwis"]

The package utf8script provides an additional binary format for Linux:
scripts which start with an UTF-8 signature (aka BOM), i.e.  with the
byte sequence \xef\xbb\xbf#!.

This is particularly useful for scripting languages which recognize
the BOM, e.g. Python. With Python 2.3 or newer, scripts with the UTF-8
BOM are considered UTF-8 enocded without the need for an addition
encoding declaration.

The package is available from

http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/utf8script-1.0.tgz

An x86 Debian package can be downloaded from
