While I'm inclined to agree with this, in this particular case we
explicitly encode pages as UTF-8 so there is an argument that we should
be telling child processes that UTF-8 is the correct encoding.

Maybe we should be looking to change LANG instead, but I'm not sure how
reliably we can do that.  Is it safe to do something like:

	const char *lang = getenv("LANG");
	struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT;

	if (!lang)
		lang = "C";
	strbuf_addf(&sb, "%.*s.UTF-8",
		    (int) (strchrnul(lang, '.') - lang), lang);
	setenv("LANG", sb.buf);
