(portability)
* We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is
understood more widely. Similarly updated test scripts to use
- encoding names more widely understood (e.g. use "ISO8850-1" instead

* Various portability fixes/workarounds for different vintages of

+ * "git fast-export" learned to handle history simplification more

* "git grep" learned -p option to show the location of the match using the
same context hunk marker "git diff" uses.
* "git imap-send" is IPv6 aware.
