UTF-8 charaters in menu.prompt and choice fail

[JEG2]

Hmm, I'm worried this might be a Windows console issue mort than a HighLine issue.

First of all, this seems correct.
I've tried the example with lubuntu and experienced no problems.

But I also found out what the problem is under windows:
In the def say(statement) method in highline.rb, the statement string is always US-ASCII when the statement is a Erb template.

  def say( statement )
    statement = statement.to_str
    puts "Encoding: #{statement.encoding}"
    => "Encoding: US-ASCII"
    ...

This obviously only occures when the statement is an Erb template. But in that case, the "<%= @prompt %>" get's the wrong encoding.

I then changed the encoding to UTF-8 and now it works. I didn't check for any other issues though ...

  def say( statement )
    statement = statement.to_str.encode("UTF-8")
    ...

Ah, this is a good point. We should try to find a good policy for handling ERb encoding. Let me think on that a bit and I'll try to come up with a solution…

I think I came up with a decent solution, see #73

Thank you.
