  Description     : binfmt_misc plugin for UTF-8 scripts

 This package provides an additional binary format for Linux: scripts
 which start with an UTF-8 signature (aka BOM), i.e.  with the byte
 sequence \xef\xbb\xbf#!.
 .
 This is particularly useful for scripting languages which recognize
 the BOM, e.g. Python. With Python 2.3 or newer, scripts with the UTF-8
 BOM are considered UTF-8 enocded without the need for an addition
 encoding declaration.
