Comment (by mojca@…):

 Just to explain where the weird encoding comes from.

 The original file `dist.ini` contains UTF-8 encoded
 {{{
 author = Ingy döt Net
 }}}
 Then this apparently gets translated into
 {{{
 "AUTHOR" => "Ingy d\x{f6}t Net",
 }}}
 in `Makefile.PL`. During the configure phase, the following command is
 called (more or less):
 {{{
 perl5.18 Makefile.PL
 }}}
 which results in
 {{{
 # --- MakeMaker ppd section:
 # Creates a PPD (Perl Package Description) for a binary distribution.
 ppd :
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '<SOFTPKG NAME="$(DISTNAME)"
 VERSION="$(VERSION)">' > $(DISTNAME).ppd
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '    <ABSTRACT>YAML Ain'\''t Markup Language
 (tm)</ABSTRACT>' >> $(DISTNAME).ppd
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '    <AUTHOR>Ingy döt Net</AUTHOR>' >>
 $(DISTNAME).ppd
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '    <IMPLEMENTATION>' >> $(DISTNAME).ppd
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '        <ARCHITECTURE NAME="darwin-thread-
 multi-2level-5.18" />' >> $(DISTNAME).ppd
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '        <CODEBASE HREF="" />' >>
 $(DISTNAME).ppd
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '    </IMPLEMENTATION>' >> $(DISTNAME).ppd
         $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) '</SOFTPKG>' >> $(DISTNAME).ppd
 }}}
 in Latin 1 encoding.
