As the a Chinese user a few weeks back didn't expect, the authz files
(and all other Subversion config files) are used raw as UTF-8 - mostly
untouched 8-bit byte sequences are copied into in-memory structures.
Also, on AS/400 the files always read as UTF-8 regardless of the CCSID
set on the file.
I guess this could be documented somewhere.
Also: On Windows clients, there is a charset mismatch between the byte
sequences read from config files (UTF8) and the values read from the
registry (using the RegXxxxA APIs), which are 8-bit ANSI codepage values.
