[Lokalizacija] Request to use UTF-8 encoding in bison-runtime

Hello, all. In GRUB we use bison parser. GRUB itself is localised (if 
you want to translate it to your language template is available from TP 
it would be most welcome). But bison parser wasn't localised due to GRUB 
previously supporting only one domain, now I've changed that and making 
it to pick up bison-runtime translation. But then comes another problem: 
Romanian, Estonian, Turkish and Croatian translation use non-UTF-8 
non-latin1 charset. Adding ISO8859-2/-9/-15 support into GRUB would be 
counter-productive as the size of needed tables is comparable with the 
respective message catalog. Dates on po indicate that this encoding use 
is probably a leftover from early days. Would it be possible to convert 
them to UTF-8. To do so you need just to:
msgconv -t UTF-8 bison-runtime-2.5.ll.po -o new_bison-runtime-2.5.ll.po
(replace ll with language code)
and upload the new file
Thanks in advance.
