Summary:                    UTF-8 encode compiler output instead of
[NON-UTF-8-BYTE-0x??] escapes
Description: 
We've got a german language edition of visual studio 2010.
The included compiler generates diagnostic messages in german which may e.g.
contain umlauts (non ASCII).
Those umlauts are replaced by ctest with "[NON-UTF-8-BYTE-0x??]" sequences.

Would it be possible to convert the output from current local codepage to utf-8?

Alternatively I'm guessing using the unicode version of the involved win32
functions (CreateProcessW(?)) and converting the resulting UTF-16 output to
UTF-8 may also work.
