[PATCH] GPX files written by JOSM have wrong encoding

[anonymous]

I came across this as gpsbabel choked on a a gpx file exported by JOSM.
The xml header says encoding='UTF-8' but the data actually is ISO 8859-1, e.g in "<name>Dorfstraße</name>".

So encoding should either contain the real encoding or more desirable the file should encoded in UTF-8.

Tested with JOSM 1081 on Windows.

The GpxWriter class uses an PrintWriter instance which uses the default encoding. On Windows the default encoding is not UTF-8 therefore the encoding problem.

The attached patch corrects this.

I've played a bit with the source and changed GpxWriter to be used like OsmWriter. That needs much more code to be touched but at least if OsmWriter is considered a good implementation the result might be desirable.

Sorry, I can't attach the patch because it always gets rejected as potential spam. That's not nice.
