Hi!
I've committed into Maxima CVS fixes for
all known i18n problems. Now Maxima should
work OK with es and pt documentation
in ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 locales (Unicode
enabled Lisp is required for UTF-8 ones).

Fixed.

All .html docs are left in iso-8859-1.
But we can recode it to utf-8 if
it is really needed.

Fixed. Old code worked only with automake 1.9.
Now it works with all version from 1.6 to 1.9.

iconv is used to convert charsets by default.
recode is tried if iconv is absent and new option
--enable-recode
forces recode.
Windows builds are available at

Please test and report problems
on all platforms.
Best wishes,
