Why are we reading ISO-8859 characters in the first place?  Is it safe
to append .utf-8 to any locale that doesn't already have that present?
If not, we need to add code at gnucash startup to suck in all the locale
specific settings, check the actual locale name, and optionally convert
these values to utf-8.
