Hold on -- I recall now that there were two issues. One was the UTF8
issue, which is easily fixed with a small patch. The other is that
pandoc 1.3's use of TH seems to prevent it from compiling on
several architectures. That can't be fixed with a small patch, but
will be fixed in 1.5. Given this, maybe I should just try to finish 1.5
quickly?
