It's reasonable  to shift to UTF-8 for developers, but users of Scilab may
not get ready to change their file encoding,  especially for the cases that
thay use Scilab to cooperate with other system.

 I would suggest to add a fourth choice "as current  file encoding" for
default file encoding . This option does not change  user's original
encoding.   Let users of Scilab smoothly shift to UTF-8 when he is getting
ready.
