I did a ckeck of quicklisp systems. There are 263 lisp files in 107 systems which assume non-ASCII, and only 31 of them in 20 systems assume non-UTF-8:
OK. Any volunteer to contact the authors of these 20 systems and get each issue fixed? Or even to split the job in 2, 3, 4, 5?
OK, I contacted all the authors or maintainers of the offending software that Orivej identified as requiring a fix to compile.
In at least one case (regex), the original author's address Michael Parker mparker762@hotmail.com is invalid, and I contacted a maintainer instead Michael Weber michaelw@foldr.org who might not be the source that Xach uses judging from the version number in Quicklisp (michaelw uses darcs, but quicklisp has a version 1 instead of $date-darcs). I'm not convinced that portable-hemlock is actively maintained either.
I updated the status page at https://github.com/orivej/asdf-encodings/wiki/Tracking-non-UTF-8-lisp-files-...
Finally, I created a mostly useless asdf-encodings at: ssh://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/git/asdf-encodings.git git://common-lisp.net/projects/asdf/asdf-encodings.git I invite those people who want to use non-UTF-8 encodings to submit patches to this project.
