[Haskell] Re: ASCII higher than 127

[Christian Maeder]

Either convert your file to utf-8 encoding or read

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.6/html/users_guide/release-6-6.html

GHC now treats source files as UTF-8 (ASCII is a strict subset of UTF-8,
so ASCII source files will continue to work as before). However, invalid
UTF-8 sequences are ignored in comments, so ASCII code with comments in,
for example, Latin-1 will also work.

A way to have Latin-1 source files pre-processed by GHC is described in
Section 4.10.4, "Options affecting a Haskell pre-processor".

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.6/html/users_guide/options-phases.html#pre-processor

Find attached my convert.sh script.
