I'm surprised if that wasn't fixable by setting up something on your
windows box...

But I can't fix things on users Windows boxes (I'm distributing a help file for the Windows port of my app).

I have settled on this bodge for the moment:

1. Run saxon with htmlhelp.encoding set to UTF-8
2. recode utf8..windows-1252 < toc.hhc > toc.win && \
   mv toc.win toc.hhc

(I don't really understand why saxon can't output windows-1252, but
java is a mystery to me.)
