non-ASCII characters in Automake source files

Recently I went through the Autoconf source files and removed all
non-ASCII characters in the source files.  These characters are a
problem for people who don't use Latin-1 by default.

However, Autoconf imports lib/elisp-comp from Automake, and this file
has a single non-ASCII character:

lib/elisp-comp:3:# François Pinard <pinard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, 1995.

I don't know what the Automake policy is about non-ASCII characters in
source files, but would you guys mind if I changed "François" to
"Franc,ois" in that file, so that we can continue to share that
particular file in ASCII?  That is the usual way his name is spelled
in ASCII.

Another possibility would be to insert an Emacs directive into the
file so that Emacs users will always use Latin-1 when reading the
file.  This solution would work only for Emacs users, but I suppose
that might be good enough for Autoconf.

Here is a list of all the non-ASCII characters in Automake 1.7.5.  I
guess they should be fixed one way or the other at some point.  If you
like, I can propose a patch to do so.
