And what if they are not?  If you're running a non-UTF8 locale the
imported data could be ISO or something else..  QIF for example has
nothing to specify the encoding.  I suppose we could add a page to
the importer druid that asks the user for the input encoding, but most
likely they'd have no clue what it is.
