AW: Umlaute get corrupted when transfering livecode from Win to Mac

A quick test showed the wrong charset today everytime in every file I copied
from Mac to Win and vice versa with corrupted umlaute in the standalone
settings, but not in the scripts. (LC 4.6.4)
The docs say, that the charset indicates, on which platform the stack was
last saved, so the bug doesn't seem to be at this point. But obviously with
the handling and translating of the charset. The charset was switched back
to the correct one after having saved the file AND closed and reopened it.

I searched the QCC and wonder if I am the only one. Perhaps I searched with
the wrong search keys, so I opened a new QCC report under 10208
