On a gitweb page like the following…

https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=alioth/pax.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=HEAD

… the UTF-8 characters are broken. (This is of no particular fault
of the server, since it shows a git commitdiff, which carries no
encoding information).

In EVERY. SINGLE. OTHER. Fennec, Firefox, Firebird, Phoenix and
Netscape Navigator version I tried, I was able to select the correct
page encoding there manually.

Bring that back.
