UTF8 support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

for whatever reason UTF8 never works to me.  Fix this before release time.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Placing LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF8" in /etc/env.d/02locale will do it, the file does 
not exist on the DefCon iso.

Run outside X:
echo 'LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF8"' >> /etc/env.d/02locale && \
env-update && source /etc/profile

See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml#doc_chap3 if you're 
interested in the details.

Test by running (both inside and outside X):
a) grep -F -e '[da]' -e '[de]' -e '[el]' 
/usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/systray.desktop
b) less /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/systray.desktop

Without the fix, less will even complain about possible binary file and the 
output is   crappy.
With the fix this does not happen and the visible output is way better.
Outside X all western European chars plus some others are correctly displayed.
Inside X (xfce4-terminal), even some Chinese/Maya/Hebrew, etc chars are 
visible, only very few exceptions.

(Don't see where to "fix" this in the pentoo svn repo.)

The above 02locale fix has been made for BUILDING THE LIVECD only. Installed 
users currently need to make this change themselves.

If you would like to write some simple bash (for the pentoo/pentoo ebuild) that 
detects if /etc/env.d/02locale exists and if not to populate it, I would be 
happy to accept it. Otherwise I'll take that idea when I have spare time (don't 
hold your breath).

This appears functional and I'm happy till the next complaint.
