Sorry I did not connect the dots.

Yes I'm french and we do have a bunch of non-ascii characters as well
(including french trema which is just like umlaut)
but we currently avoid those since none of them appear in our address :-]

I think the best way to go would be to try to go for utf-8 encoding which
is relatively widespread nowadays and goes into testing for each CPack
generator which currently use CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE.

Reading/writing utf-8 seems doable in plain C++ without
an example (untested) here: http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/
