Stefan, Thank you for trying to fix this. I think we should handle
it slightly different and set a precedent here.
Please copy ChangeLog.8 to tst-regex.in and use a test-specific input
file. I find it silly that we've been using ChangeLog.8 for anything.
To be clear I think we should:
* Leave the ChangeLog in UTF-8. -- This is for attribution only.
* Add a new tst-regex.in -- This is for testing only.
Likewise if you find anything else like this I'd say we split out the
inputs into test-specific inputs.
Any time we mix attribution and testing is bound to go wrong.

Carlos.
