I've attached a small perl script to remove the subentries to the individual
authors. Is that OK?

The following solutions come to my mind:
1 Convert AUTHORS file to UTF-8 (it looks like more and more Linux distros
  are moving to UTF-8 as default encoding, don't know about the BSDs and
  commercial UNIXes).
2 Find a tool (or perl package) to convert ISO-8859-15 to UTF-8.
3 Add a conversion part to the script: As there aren't many characters to
  care about right now this looks like a feasible solution.

I'd prefer 1, but 3 looks ok too. Let me know what you think

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
