Indeed. I think this is actually something we can change without causing 
any problems:

If a script only stack file contains a BOM at the start then engine only 
processes it as UTF-8.

If a script only stack file does not contain a BOM, then it tries to 
decode as UTF-8 if this fails it decodes as native platform encoding.

This should work because it is incredibly unlikely that a native 
platform encoded textfile will appear as well-formed UTF-8.

Mark.
