[Mono-dev] Possible Bug in Mono?

  Hello,

source code encoding can be specified when you save a source file on 
MonoDevelop (there is a combobox for encoding option).

On compilation, monodevelop takes compiler options from the project 
properties. I don't know which encoding MonoDevelop on Windows uses by 
default (I don't have Windows machine now), but adding "-codepage:utf8" 
to "additional options" line on the "Compiler" node on the "Build" menu 
tree would work.

(-codepage option is common to .NET csc.exe)
