Just a thought.. Is there something you could do in the UI of TMerge to
indicate if you found the BOM's? Maybe something in the status bar to
indicate the encoding you are using? I guess if you do not find them and
you know that it is going to cause a problem, you could display a dialog.
I am not sure how you would know that the BOM not being there is causing a
problem though.
