Description
As we know, htmldoc isn't utf-8 compatible. However, quite a lot of Trac site these days are using utf-8 as default_charset. This parameter is needed so that utf-8 encoded comments in subversion are rendered correctly under the source browser.
So using this same default_charset as encoding for input feeded to htmldoc is problematic. We'd better use the output charset for this purpose.
See attached patch as proposed solution. I also added a html meta tag containing this charset so that eventually newer version of htmldoc will correctly use it.

There's still a problem in case the page from which we generate the PDF contains characters that cannot be represented in the desired output charset. For info, the supported HTMLDOC charsets currently are http://www.htmldoc.org/htmldoc.html#9_2_12

I can confirm that this patch is working correctly and I think it should be added to the main tree.
