Subject: Produce HISTORY file consistently as ASCII
X-Git-Tag: REL9_1_BETA3~57

Produce HISTORY file consistently as ASCII

The release notes may contain non-ASCII characters (for contributor
names), which lynx converts to the encoding determined by the current
locale.  The get output that is deterministic and easily readable by
everyone, we make lynx produce LATIN1 and then convert that to ASCII
with transliteration for the non-ASCII characters.
