Summary: zexy announce message charset confusion
Initial Comment:
$ pd -stderr -verbose -lib zexy
tried /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/zexy.pd_linux and succeeded
the zexy external 2.2.1
(l) forum::f::umlte
compiled: Jun 17 2008
send me a 'help' message
$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8
Without -stderr, TCL/Tk (version 8.5) or Pd's console gets really confused and displays a big empty space with invisible text that shows up only when carefully selected...
other externals may be affected by this issue too...

hmm, i have to find a solution in order to make it display _something_ and
at the same time preserve the fun of vanishing (single) characters...

Still not quite fixed... see screenshot
and highlights with * in the below:
bytes in UTF-8 encoding fall in distinct ranges:
00..7F - plain old ASCII
80..BF - non-initial bytes of multibyte code
** C2..FD - initial bytes of multibyte code (C0, C1 are not legal!)
FE, FF - never used (so, free for byte-order marks).

see attached screenshot of "pd -lib zexy"
doesn't seem to cause any non-cosmetic issues though

this is (somewhat) by intention.
does it make any problems (apart from being "unpretty")?
as long as "zexy $(VERSION) and something indicating "copyleft <me>" is
displayed, i will not fix it.
