Not generally. But as the file is under source control and "cvs diff"
shows those many lines containing german umlauts, I suppose that file
is working correctly. BTW: the real culprit is eclipse, that
converted the file when writing >:(

the umlauts are not de-/encoded correctly, don't know whom to blame
(however, most of the times it's eclipse). and i also don't know how
to handle this problem.
