Bug#413045: texlive-latex-recommended: UTF8 listings error

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Dear Brooks,

a user of listings in Debian noticed that there's a small glitch when
the file is saved in UTF-8 encoding.  It is already mentioned in the
documentation, but only takes into account CJK-latex or the ucs
package.  Actually, the inputenc package also supports utf8.  

I think it would be a good idea to document the "extendedchars=false"
workaround also for that, much more common, case, or make it unnecessary
(cannot this be detected automatically?).

A test document is below (Benoît, I don't think the <..> are special, it
also fails in the second listing after s/cpp/C++/).

Regards, Frank
