Hi Ian -

Is there any chance you might consider changing the default encoding of 
the Unix VM to be UTF-8? Both Mac and Windows come as UTF-8 nowadays and 
it would be terrific if we didn't have to tell people that they need to 
start their VM with -encoding: UTF-8 in order to deal with their local 
variants in file system, clipboard and input.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
