[bug #2585] (thuban) internal encoding of thuban

Subject: internal encoding of thuban

Currently thuban uses latin1 as internal encoding. This can generate problems when the user's encoding is differing from latin1. 

Example: on Fedora Core 2, my encoding: de_DE.UTF-8, wxGTK compiled with GKT2. This produces a segmentation fault when loading the default projektions since they have special french characters.

Possible solution (coming from Bernhard H., thanks!):
Instead of latin1 use the user's encoding as internal encoding of Thuban. Implementation should not be too difficult. Some work has to be done to adapt test cases.
