This option makes no difference for manpages which contains only
ascii chars.  But for manpages with actual UTF8 characters (qemu
docs contains these), this change allows to see real characters
instead of mojibakes or substitutes.

So why does '--utf8' qualify as a common option that we specify just once in
the POD2MAN variable, but --center=" " and --release=" " don't?

Maybe we could reduce the duplication here with a makefile function?

Maybe --release is ok here, but I don't think --center is.  Because, well,
--release is the same for every manpage (it corresponds to qemu release
number of something of this kind), but --center may actually be used one
day with different values for different manpages.

Besides, this is a task for another patch, since this one "only" thing
this patch does is addresses the --utf8 issue.  Maybe it is so trivial
that adding --release here actually does fit nicely too.  I don't care
either way, what matters is to fix the mojibake which currently exists
in qemu.1 manpage.

I'm not sure it is worth the extra complexity.  The way it is now is
more visible than a function.  Just IMHO anyway.

Thanks,

If you don't care about fixing the duplication (which I understand)
you could just add --utf8 to all the pod2man command lines.

The good side-effect of doing it like this is an ability to override
POD2MAN on command line, just in case --utf8 does not work somehow.

Ping?  It's been more than a month since this patch has been posted.

Maybe it is a good candidate for -trivial queue?

Thanks,
