.ltn files are no longer saved in latin1 #155

If I open a latin1 file with a .ltn extension, and save it, it is encoded in utf8. PPQT doesn't report any character outside latin1.

If I open and then save the same file with guiguts, it will be saved in latin1.

Yup. I took out all the file-suffix support except for htm/html/xml. This is following PGDP rules. See the PP FAQ (http://www.pgdp.net/c/faq/post_proof.php#plain), "If you are going to produce different types of text files, call another copy and ."

I had ad-hoc support in there for .ltn and .utf along with .mac and .win, but scrubbed them all. I agree that we need some additional way to specify the desired output encoding, that will be the "properties" dialog. For now, use their goofy -ltn filename.
