Hello,

when I try to merge a file encoded in utf8 against a pot file that is encoded
in latin1, I get an error message about invalid multibyte strings, and the
non-ascii chars of the msgids are mangled.

Here are two files to reproduce the problem.

$ file *
iso8859.pot: GNU gettext message catalogue, ISO-8859 text
utf8.po:     GNU gettext message catalogue, Unicode text, UTF-8 text



$ grep charset= *
iso8859.pot:"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\n"
utf8.po:"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"



$ iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t UTF-8 iso8859.pot -o /dev/null
$ iconv -f UTF-8 -t latin1 utf8.po -o /dev/null



$ LC_ALL=C msgmerge utf8.po iso8859.pot 
..... done.
