more about build-index+cl-ppcre branch & encodings

I've updated my sandbox to revision 9c49048 and built Maxima.
I'm seeing the same behavior today as I did a day or two ago;
titles & content is displayed correctly in ISO-8859 locales,
in UTF-8 locales, titles are correct and content is messed up.

I guess that the encoding for the content is set incorrectly.
I don't know how the encoding for the titles could be correct
and the content incorrect.

As it happens, the code for the existing describe system
in src/cl-info.lisp doesn't bother with encodings at all;
it falls on the Lisp implementation to figure out the encoding.
That scheme displays titles & content correctly in ISO-8859
and UTF-8 locales so far as I know.
That suggests that the encoding stuff in src/build-index.lisp
could be simplified. Just a guess.

FWIW
