Subject: [PATCH] Fix xmessage in non-UTF-8 locales

`executeFile` encodes the arguments with the current locale's encoding,
and GHC as invoked during recompilation quite likely also outputs any
errors in the locale encoding, which we then read using `readFile` again
decoding in the locale encoding, so it really makes no sense to force a
specific encoding here. What was I thinking? :-)
