hmmm, ok. Should we be taking control of this header? I thought that
pyblosxom took control of all the headers sent to the broswer; why
wouldn't we? If blog entries are encoded in utf-8, but apache's
sending iso-8859-1 to the browser, it doesn't do us much good to read
the files in utf-8, right?

(I'm kind of thinking out loud there, but if anybody follows me, just
holler. I'm having a hell of a time getting the comments module to
work with utf-8, and don't look forward to tackling the rest of
pyblosxom. This explains my lack of progress on the comment admin tool
and my proposed changes to comments.py, by the way.)

my localhost apache is sending utf-8, which is why I noticed the disparity.
