I coded this in libsi/si.c as ISO8859-15 (without the first '-').
I guess we can change this to ISO-8859-15 just as well. Please try
it and let me know if that fixes it.

There's getenv("LANG"), setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""), and Thomas Günther
recently suggested in a PM to use nl_langinfo(CODESET). Quite a few
options - which one is the right one? ;-)
Somebody with insight please advise exactly how to do this - I personally
just set LANG to de_DE.iso8859-1 and live happily ever after ;-)
