sbcl freebsd source encoding

[Antony]

Hi

I am trying sbcl on freebsd
It fails to load hunchentoot cause it fails with
* (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :hunchentoot)

debugger invoked on a LOAD-SYSTEM-DEFINITION-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {1002988FB3}>:
Error while trying to load definition for system rfc2388 from pathname
/usr/home/antony/git/thirdparty/rfc2388/rfc2388.asd:
decoding error on stream
#<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM
for "file /usr/home/antony/git/thirdparty/rfc2388/rfc2388.asd"
{1003B0A883}>
(:EXTERNAL-FORMAT :ASCII):
the octet sequence (196) cannot be decoded.

I think this is because rfc2388.asd is in utf-8 and contains non ascii
stuff.

How do I indicate this info to sbcl

One option is to start SBCL with a UTF-8 locale. On my Linux system,
that means setting LANG to "en_US.utf8". Your environment may need
something slightly different.

Yes, that worked on freebsd too.
I now run it as
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sbcl --no-userinit
My Linux env seems to have that set, so does not need it.
