With that change, is there any need for po4a-build to do anything with
utf-8?

This was only for the workaround originally devised by Robert. The fix
in po4a supersedes that change.

The config file isn't translated, I'm not sure where to put the string
as marked up for translation, other than possibly using an existing
string within the POD and POT. It's a bit like the "translator-credits"
special string in compiled languages. The string to be replaced by
eval_gettext would already have to exist in the POT and PO files.

In our case, "Po4a Tools" is translated. I'll extend this to allow
arbitrary options to pass to po4a and pod2man. Wishlist bug filed as a
reminder for me.
