The problem is not with source *.texi files. All *.texi in ISO-8859-1
and UTF-8 are identical (except for a few characters, what are these?).
This is property of all Latin-1 aka ISO-8859-1 languages (almost all
European languages). This is how UTF-8 is designed - text files in
ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 should coincide. Try converting with iconv and see
for yourself.

No. Unlike source *.texi files resulting *.info files in
ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 differ. Notice that newly created /info/es.utf8
directory doesn't contain a copy of all *.texi files from /info/es
-- just one header file maxima.texi modified to grab all other
*.texi files from ../es instead of current directory.
The only inconvenience is that
/info/es/maxima.info
and
/info/es.utf8/maxima.info
should be maintained separately.

To be honest I don't know what is the result of this
declaration.
