  * milestone:  => 0.20

Comment:

 I attached a patch. I'd like to get this in before a release as this is
 a major hindrance for people using UTF8 sub files.

 Improvements and fixes to the external (text) subtitle file support:

 * Fix printing the loaded subtitle file to the log.
 * Fix loading of UTF8 subs: detect if the strings cannot be
   presented as valid UTF8 chars and fall back to Latin1 in
   that case (TODO: add user option to select the fall back
   encoding, as it's not possible to reliably detect the
   8-bit encoding)
