Assume locale is utf8 for spawn.
Ignore-this: ea27391896e898f1288764ea40bc9661
This adds the utf8-string dependency so that users no longer need to encode
strings they (possibly indirectly) pass to spawn. This is the expected
behavior, since each Char in String should be an actual character.
For systems that do not use utf8 this does not help. Fixing this by using iconv
or similar libraries may be done later.
